Have you guys downloaded firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows?I guess you did.However,I discovered that some fonts are not displaying correctly.
As most people do,I installed PHP on windows.I created a phpinfo.php page to check whether certain modules are successfully loaded.However,the fonts on that page are not correctly displayed.As far as I know,the font type and size is not the same as usual.They are in wrong font type and smaller size.How comes?Is that a bug?Because I feel good when I was using 1.5.0.x version on windows before.Nothing happens.
If you guys have similar experience or solution(better),please drop me a line.
Hello Ang, Windows? Oh well, I will probably get crucified for this, but it is Christmas day.
Programs running under that system, like most OS's, use a directory within the system for fonts in general. If you have fonts not displaying correctly, then re-install the fonts, by hand if needed.
Maybe even try to download the fonts from another location, in case your copies are corrupt.
Ang, it could be that Firefox 2 has a different way of handling the fonts. Or fonts are kept in a slightly different place in the system.
Being something of a Luddite myself, I am still using 1.5. Won't change just because it is new.
Maybe check your fonts directories and synchronise them. Are you using true type fonts, or custom?
As a web developer, you are way ahead of me there my new friend.
Apart from checking font directories, is there something in php, that has changed between version 4 and 5. Hmm, silly question, probably lots of changes.

You are right.I think I should go back to 1.5 because I don't have any problem using it.

shorty943,I have same experience if browsing webpage besides phpinfo.As a result,it's nothing to do with PHP.I just give you one of the example which has that problem.
Please look at the fonts when I used firefox 2.0.0.1 to view openbsd website. Firefox_screenshot
IE 7 displays the website without any weird font size. IE7_screenshot
