Hi everyone, I'm on Fedora 20 using Firefox and, with the recent Wikipedia style changes (they changed the site's typefaces), I started wondering what actual fonts were being rendered on my browser. Their new CSS font-family property is: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; If I use fc-match against these I get: $ fc-match "Helvetica Nueue" DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" $ fc-match "Helvetica" n019003l.pfb: "Nimbus Sans L" "Regular" $ fc-match "Arial" LiberationSans-Regular.ttf: "Liberation Sans" "Regular" $ fc-match "sans-serif" DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" When I go to Wikipedia, the actual font being rendered is "Nimbus Sans L" (confirmed by various Firefox addons I have). This is the 2nd option in the CSS property (Helvetica). My question is: Since I don't have any of these typefaces, why is the 2nd option being selected & not the 1st one (Helvetica Nueue)? Is there some notion of "preference" in fontconfig? Or is it a Firefox issue? That is, Firefox decided to use the 2nd option and asked fontconfig for it? I don't really want to change the font being rendered. I just want to learn what goes on :) Thanks, Jorge _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
