  Here is what I have set as fonts in Dooble (chosen automatically because I already had them installed when I got Dooble):

Cursive = Comic Sans MS
Fantasy = Impact
Fixed = Deja Vu Sans Mono
Pictograph = Deja Vu Serif
Sans Serif = Deja Vu Sans Serif
Serif = Deja Vu Serif
Standard = Deja Vu Serif

 The first 2 are from the MS Core Fonts msfontpack_2.0.wpi at http://Hobbes.nmsu.edu. The last 5 are from the Deja Vu pack you have. Check the 'Web' page under 'Settings' for the font settings.

Regards,

thank you, made it and then Apply, but no luck  (see images)

just mention that I've tried to make everything suggested on this forum for make this alternative browser work reliably: took all QT5 packages adviced and corrected some conflict noted on error messages, all pakages updated by Yum, all packages i686 converted into Pentium4. I would also accept the extreme system instability taken after all this (ie. traps 90% times on any browser exit, with Firefox as well). But Dooble doesn't open Gmail, Youtube, Linkedin, it loses characters on a website which I access most frequently, as you see. Understand that this software developing requires work+patience, it is free despite time spent from people behind it. But as I read here on various dedicated thread that Dooble is working mostly well while in my system is a disaster, does not make me so happy, because I'm focused too for obtaining an acceptable level of usability.  Sorry for the outburst

 Hi Mauro,

 Well - I guess I should have tried it first! When I go to 'la Reppublica' I also see what you see - missing letters in the headline. Probably for the same reason as Doug saw on 'TheWeatherNetwork'. No idea why, so probably should be reported at github as a bug.

Probably SVG problem

Hi David,

I doubt ant bug reporting would be any use.  It appears the developer gave up on the browser 7 years ago so I don't think we can expect any help from him.

You mean the upsteam developer? Latest commit was 17 hours ago according to https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble
As for the port, most of the problems are actually in the Qt5 webengine, think Gecko for Firefox, SeaMonkey and Thunderbird
