Closed Bug 40989 Opened 25 years ago Closed 25 years ago

The Mac version of Netscape 6 does not dynamically update fonts. This is not good for Bitstream's dynamic font technology (WebFont), when we release our plug-in for Netscape 6.

Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (WinNT; U) BuildID: 2000041805 With the Mac version of NS6, the problem is simple to reproduce. 1. Launch NS6 2. Install a new font (any font will do). 3. Go to a web page that calls for the new font. Problem: The new font is not used. Behavior is as though the font had not been installed. To see the new font, you have to close down Netscape 6, relaunch Netscape 6, and revisit the URL with the new font. Not many users will bother doing this. They will think the fonts don't work. And they certainly won't revisit the Web site, unless they have it bookmarked; URLs are hard to remember. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Netscape 6. 2. Install a new font (any font will do). 3. Go to a Web page that calls for the new font. Actual Results: Netscape 6 did not display the new font. Expected Results: Update the font menu dynamically.
netscape 6 bugs should not go here. Please download a mozilla ngihtly and test.
