Hello,
From time to time I see in my Evo 2.32.3 a mail coming from an OutLook
user and having a single letter
J
as, for example, part of the text or the signature; I was curious enough
to ask the sender what he typed and what is in the source text of the
mail; he typed ':-)' (without the '') and the source of the mail in HTML
has:
<span style='font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>J</span>
i.e. the smiley is changed on the fly to a 'J' and a font Windings
directive;
Do such fonts exist for Linux or FreeBSD and would Evo make use of them?
Thanks

Hello Matthias, Evo does not currently support the "style" HTML attribute (it does not support CSS at all), so it does not apply the font family nor color on the text. I tried this in the WebKit version I'm currently working on and it worked as expected - the styles applied, so in 3.6, you might even see the smileys :) You need to have Wingdings installed, though. There is no free equivalent on Linux (probably because it is (c)'d, (TM)'d and patented by Microsoft), I had to copy the .ttf font from my Windows installation, otherwise I saw "J" as well. Cheers, Dan PS: you can also ask the sender to use Unicode equivalent (U+263A, â) -- dvratil redhat com | Evolution developer GPG Key: 0xC59D614F6F4AE348 Fingerprint: 4EC1 86E3 C54E 0B39 5FDD B5FB C59D 614F 6F4A E348
