[WebKit-devel] About fonts (... again ...?)

[Dawit A.]

Hi,

If the page uses a <pre> tag, then it is known issue in QtWebKit itself. Both 
the webkitpart and the Arora browser do not render pre-formatted text 
properly. Not sure where the problem lies, but it is on my todo list to look 
into this and open a bug report upstream if needed.

The font issue is also a known issue that needs to be investigated. There were 
a lot of hacks made to make the fonts and font sizes in the webkit part look 
as close to how they look in KHTML as possible. But the hack is not really a 
correct fix and will not workout well for some people. Anyhow, at some point 
this will have to looked into as well.
