My blog header looks smashed (IE / Firefox)

  • Unknown's avatar

    It’s surprising that the header looks great in Safari under Windows and Mac but not Firefox ( http://www.dwarfurl.com/6a918 ) or IE 6/7 ( http://www.dwarfurl.com/73856 ). Here is a screenshot of 13ideas.net in Safari… http://www.dwarfurl.com/38cb1 .

    — This may be getting picky but in IE, the tag cloud seems to looks “smashed” together (link above).

    The tag cloud is a very new feature and not surprisingly there are some problems with it as you can see from the forum posts.

    It looks fine for me in Firefox 2.0.0.5 and Konqueror running under Fedora Core 7. Sorry, can’t check IE.

    RE: katm

    Header is still “smashed” in both of the browsers you mentioned…

    http://urltea.com/1le2 – Konqueror (under Ubuntu Linux)
    http://urltea.com/1le3 (Firefox 2.0.0.x under Ubuntu Linux)

    There is certainly a difference from the pics you provided even in the post text. It looks fine in FF and Safari 3.0.3 Beta on my Mac. Since I’m seeing a difference in fonts in the posts and also in the links at the top of the page, my first thought is that some fonts are missing from your Ubuntu install that are in Windows and Mac, and the Ubuntu browser is substituting (because the system doesn’t have the font). My other thought (remote as it is) would be that the Ubuntu versions FF and Konqueror are rendering the pages differently.

    Go into the fonts and colors advanced tab in preferences under content and check to see if the “default” fonts are set like one of your browsers that render it correctly.
