Details

When using 'class=' to call for the font-family for cursive and fantasy, the text is defaulting to a san serif font instead. Here is an abbreviated code for the above URL which will show this bug: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>CSS1 Test Suite: font-family</TITLE> <STYLE type="text/css"> .three {font-family: cursive} .threeplus {font-family: Brush Script MT} .four {font-family: fantasy} .fourplus {font-family: wide latin} </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <P class="three">This sentence should be in a cursive font. </P> <P class="threeplus">This sentence should be in Brush Script MT (a cursive font.) </P> <P class="four">This sentence should be in a fantasy font. </P> <P class="fourplus">This sentence should be in wide latin (a fantasy font.) </P> </BODY> </HTML>
Updated location of URL
The same failure happens on Unix and MAC. Changed platform to All.
well, unix and mac are going to present problems, as most people don't have those fonts installed (i know *I* don't.) reassigning to pollmann.
Changing priority to P1...
Jan could you update the URL above ASAP. I am unable to reach it.

Updates URL
Hey, when did you ask for the URL update? The email request just came to me today 11/17, yet your comment is marked 9/4! If this is correct then we have a serious problem with the email notification.

I just changed the "Version" of this bug today, which is probably what caused you to recieve the notification (Thanks for updating the URL!) This is a bug that was present in Gromit, but I'm not sure it it's present in NGLayout. Reassigning it to Harish because he is a CSS guru now. :) It would be interesting to see if this CSS font-family bug has been resolved in NGLayout.
