'About' text corrupted #468

Closed WilliamOfGaunt closed 3 months ago

What steps will reproduce the problem? Be specific, and provide as much detail as possible.

Opening the About window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The About text; what I see instead appears to be garbage (question marks in squares).

What version of GiA are you using? On what version of OS X?

GiA version 1.26.0; MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 .

Are you using a web proxy? DNS proxy? VPN? VPS?

None of the above.

What program are you attempting to download (full title, series and episode)? Provide only ONE program as an example.

None - GiA works well in other respects!

Please provide any additional information below.

When I copy the text into TextEdit it's perfectly readable as text, so it may be something screwy elsewhere and nothing to do with GiA at all - I just wonder whether I'm the only one seeing this! I attach a relevant screenshot.

Yikes, you're right -- I see this too. Thank you for the report.

Something changed in macOS such that font fallback names in CSS aren't working. If I remove 'Geneva' from the font list in the CSS it works again.

Many thanks for the clarification, Scott. I suspected it was the OS that dun it; do I need to change anything, or will it just be in the next update (for which no hurry from my point of view!).

B.

No, I don't think you can work around it. It's not critical so I won't rush an update just for this.

Fixed in v1.26.1
