I'm wondering if anyone ever had this problem: When viewing certain web
pages with Konqueror (3.0.0-12, under RH 7.3), text shows up in greek.
I have the particular problem all the time when reading the online
Python docs. For example:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/ext/simpleExample.html
Look for the line that reads 'The next thing we add to our module file is the
C function that will be called when the Python expression
"spam.system(string)"is evaluated.' The word "string" shows up a gibberish.
Anyhow, I traced the particular problem to the stylesheet. Apparently when
"times" is specified as a font, Konqueror uses the "symbol" font (in the
Python docs, VAR is assigned times). Here is the simplest page I could come up
with the reproduces the problem:
<STYLE> * { font-family: times; } %lt;/STYLE%gt;
This is greek to me.
I'm trying to find out whether this is a Konqueror bug and whether it should
be reported. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
