About Lucida Grande, it’s meant for Mac users... most PC users don’t have it installed, usually then only see verdana or tahoma or even arial... Lots of websites use this (especially since lots of designers are working on Macs )

I am not sure why Lucida Grande renders ugly on PC while looking great on Macs... maybe you have a font of the same family (Lucida) and the browser switches to it instead of falling back on other fonts specified in the CSS, not sure there...

@Jason : nice info there about permission on categories

I haven’t checked the stylesheet... (Sorry - it’s a lazy Sunday), but maybe the font should be enclosed in quotes (e.g., font-family:’lucida grande’,verdana,thahoma,arial,sans-serif;) so that other variants of Lucida aren’t used instead? ...so I guess I should, huh? embarrassed

I didn’t check either, but ~~true~~ that ~~should be enclosed in quotes...~~ is enclosed in quote.

Because a Pc aint a Mac offcourse

and yes I do have fonts from the Lucida family istalled, as far as I know lot’s of people do doesn’t it come with their office version?. I’s a nice font, just not on the screen in small sizes.

Is there any font on that list that’s not installed by default on Mac’s ? If so, can that go first in the list? Or is there another common font that renders on Pc and not on Mac that can be added at the front (verdana, tahoma maybe?) Although I wouldn’t mind having a Mac on my desk myself, most of my clients at least will have Pc’s and I’d like them to be able to read the menu. Or am I an ’isolated case’?

Anyway, I know I can change it myself, I’m just hoping there’s a generic solution available.

I have discovered a "new" problem with rev1624 : TVs are not saved anymore when I edit a document sad

(I have two websites exhibiting this behavior)

Anyone has experienced a similar problem ?

David, have you tried in the latest SVN version? Just tested it out myself and TV’s are saving fine (PHP5, MySQL5).

Good news

I am currently upgrading those websites to rev1636 (I am also running PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.22). I’ll get back to you on this.

Will there be an official beta 4 releasing soon? I am checking everyday since 26th but doesn’t have any release yet. I do export from SVN once a while the there are new release almost every second, so it is a bit hard to keep up from there.

As you say, things are moving fast. So many things happen there that a "release" wouldn’t make much sense (the next release will probably be a Release Candidate). This being said, rev1636 is a working "beta5", I am testing it on two real case projects and it’s running fine. But as you can see, rev1624 was not OK, which underlines using SVN builds is not as stable as "official" betas...
