Those icons are bundled in a font file, no JS required. Blocking "objects" and font files will cause them to not render. I have a note somewhere to consolidate various icons into an SVG spritesheet, but support is not quite as deep as using a font file. Haven't decided which may be the best path to follow yet. I'll start experimenting with them before long. > > I suspect most people running noscript/etc block "objects" as well as > scripts. > Agreed. Though in that case they aren't seeing icons - functionally everything is still there and works (it's why I don't use icon-only navigation schemes - the text + anchors are still there). If someone is going to purposefully block content (whatever the reason), then they should expect things to not look as designed (but should still be functional). I think we're covering that. > Nice fonts are nice to see.

See above. (If you are blocking stuff on purpose, don't be surprised when it doesn't show up as intended). Most importantly, the site works without those fonts (though it maybe ugly). > > > Checking other browsers that aren't using Noscript/etc: > > I checked using some other browsers and still don't see the icons. > > Here's a screenshot of what I see in four different browsers - top to > bottom the browsers are Rekonq, Konqueror, Opera, and Firefox: > > > http://ninedegreesbelow.com/bug-reports/gimp-site/rekonq-konqueror-opera-firefox-screenshot.jpg > > I don't understand. All of the screenshots except for the last one (FF) show the font icons just fine?

The server connection limits are being stressed by many concurrent downloads at the moment. Give it a day or two to calm down, then revisit it. (Or test it locally with appropriate tools). At the moment, with no optimizations, throttling to 1MB/s and a latency of about 5ms, all above the fold content loads in about 4 - 4.5 seconds (including background images). The DOM content loaded in about 450ms, final full load was just shy of 10s. The total front page weight right now is about 1.2MB total. I'll start optimizing soon, but will not do anything until the downloads have abated a bit. _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
