If the font the webpage expects does not exist, the font renderer (not sure what file that is) selects the closest thing to it it can find on your system.Robin2 wrote:I'm using Precise 5.7.1, not the Retro version...I have been wondering what Firefox does if the expected font does not exist? There are far fewer fonts installed in my Puppy compared to Xubuntu.
Maybe there is some way to tell Firefox to act differently?
In Firefox, Edit->Preferences-->Content-->Fonts & Colors-->Advanced lets you specifiy default font choices and sizes, and you can check "Allow pages to choose their own fonts." Some webpages are capable of serving fonts on-the-fly, usually Google fonts.
I've just downloaded Precise 5.7.1 and its devx and will have a go at installing infinality-ultimate. Might be a week though, as we had a storm last night and I have some yard cleanup to do.
I agree with mikeb, the wiry-looking fonts in your initial post look like they are getting anti-alias'ed twice.
What is the url of the webpage you call the main Puppy page? Is it Precise's own welcome page?
