Dooble Browser rendering - missing characters

(1/4) > >>

mauro:
hi all, can someone tell why both Dooble and Simple Browser miss some character when displaying the page, see for example the main page of La Repubblica (attached image) where only four characters of the paper headname are visible ?
Thank you

Probably the issue that is mentioned in the updated readme-os2.txt ? See 

https://github.com/bitwiseworks/dooble-os2/commit/08e827a3f7cc4cf8225af457f18fbafa93457e03

and also

and Dmitriy's earlier post here at the os2world forum:

Doug Bissett:
I had better results, when I installed the DejaVu fonts before installing Dooble. At least it picked the proper fonts. I still have one web site, that has missing characters (see image). I suspect that the font is downloaded from the web site, and Dooble doesn't render it properly.

One picture shows what Dooble does. The other shows what Firefox does.

Dave Yeo:
It's nothing to do with a downloadable font as far as I can tell. Looks the same with JavaScript turned off. It's weird text as it is non-selectable. SeaMonkey uses these fonts to display the page here,

--- Code: ---DejaVu LGC Sans Bold
Arial Bold
Arial
DejaVu LGC Serif
DejaVu LGC Sans

--- End code ---

Doug Bissett:
I have wondered if it is actually a "picture", but it is not selectable. Note that the logo (in the yellow part), is also missing. I haven't noticed anything else missing. I assume that usable fonts are installed, because Firefox renders it correctly.
