First hand impression: many fonts are missing!

more to come.

 

Thanks bluesky,

Please keep us posted on your experience with Mozilla 1.3. I've been running 1.3b, and have found it to be very stable, Mail & NG's included.

So what's with the fonts?

Mozilla 1.3 Release Notes

What's New in Mozilla 1.3

* Mozilla Mail has junk-mail classification. With some initial "training" the client can identify and segregate spam messages from good messages. To see more about Mozilla's junk-mail classification, visit the Mozilla Spam Filtering page.
* Newsgroup filters have been implemented.
* An initial implementation of Mozilla Midas, rich text editing controls, has landed in Mozilla for 1.3. See the Midas page for more information.
* Image auto sizing allows a user to toggle between full-sized images and images sized to fit the browser window. To give it a try, load a large image into the browser window or size the window to be much smaller. Now clicking on the image will alternate between auto-sized and full-sized. The feature can be disabled (or enabled) from the Appearance panel in Preferences.
* Users can now "dynamically" switch profiles. To give it a try, from the tools menu select "Switch Profile... "
* Find as you type, formerly known as type ahead find, has a new preferences panel (Advanced: Keyboard Navigation).
* When installed, Chatzilla now has a normal Mozilla preferences panel.
* Mozilla 1.3 also includes fixes for performance, standards compliance and site compatibility.

New Additions to the Release Notes

These are items that have been added to the release notes since the last milestone although the bugs themselves may have existed previously.

* On Mac OS X, XPInstall has been disabled for 1.3. This means that extensions and themes will not install for Mozilla 1.3 on Mac OS X. (bug 181293)

* The mozdev spellchecker released for earlier versions of Mozilla does not work with 1.3 or newer builds and will lead to crashes. Please upgrade to the new spellchecker (bug 185251)

* The MRJ Java plugin is not available in Mozilla 1.3, so LiveConnect does not work. Mozilla will use Apple's Java Applet plugin, if available, to display applets. (bug 97613)

Got it, thanks.

Skypilot theme available too.

 

re: mozilla's fonts

>So what's with the fonts?

I opened Edit -> Prefenrences --> Appearance --> fonts and clicked on many fonts tabs but only see 1 to 3 fonts available each. It just my only installation but want to confirm.

Besides that, 1.3 seems quite fast.

 

Faster than a speeding bullet!

I am totally impressed with the speed, can't give an opinion on anything else, as I've only used the Release a few hours.

Ramona

 

Almost as fast as IE. But not quite. The progress bar seems to be non-functional too.

 

In your dreams Laddie!

Nothing wrong with mine. What seems to be the problem at your end?

Ramona

 

It's doesn't show progress which, in a progress bar, is a rather important feature.

 

View; Show/Hide; tic Status Bar.

 

bluesky,

I am seeing a full font list, so it must be something on your end?

brett,

Have found some Bug Reports on the Progress/Status Bar, and still looking for more info. The Release is so new, not much out there yet.

See if this helps:
With Mozilla closed: delete the chrome.rdf file in your salted folder. Mozilla will rebuild the file on restart.

Also: Bug 192022

>I am seeing a full font list, so it must be something on your end?

You are certainly right, 99%. Some early 1.3b that I have carries the fantansy fonts as well, which is now grayed out in 1.3 final. I was kind of mixed up since I worked with linux verions more than windows'.

 

Nope, still no progress (ha ha ha!!!).

I'd almost get married again just to see this.
