Try visiting the URL "about:config" on the two systems, and look for any difference in the options marked as having "user" provenance. Either that, or you might have a user stylesheet on the system causing the problem. Cheers, -- Michael Drake http://www.codethink.co.uk/

Here, it looks as you describe it should. ArmX6 with Ro 5.23 and Netsurf #3955. (Might pinch some of your design ideas!) -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

My first and totally uninformed guess is the different FontManagers and fonts in use. Could you perhaps create a but on the tracker, and attach screenshots of both and the config files for both? B.

Thanks B [Snip] Thanks all for your responses. I have been looking more closely at this and am beginning to think the problem is of my own making so, until I have probed further, I shall hold fire on sending anything to the developers. Today I discovered that NetSurf on the VA displays the site as intended when it is loaded from my local mirror although it still doesn't work properly with files from the www. "Aha!" you say "go through the site until you find the discrepancy, it's probably a style sheet." "But," I reply,"it still renders correctly on the same version of NetSurf on the Pi when viewed via the www." Mystified and digging deeper. PS. Jim, pinch away the design ideas aren't originally mine - I just pinched and modified them. FWIW the site was designed and laid out using RISC OS and NetSurf in particular. -- _ Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit RISC OS 6.20 _ --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

I used to do that until trying to make my sites more mobile compliant for the 25% of mobile visitors and I discovered Flex containers were a handy cross browser solution. Flex isn't implemented in NetSurf, of course. :-( -- Tim Hill timil.com : tjrh.eu : butterwick.eu : blue-bike.uk : youngtheatre.co.uk

[Snip] After clearing out HostFS::HardDisc4.$.!Boot.Choices.Users.Single.WWW.NetSurf the problem has gone away. I suspect two versions of the relevant style sheet were being stored and that one was invoked when I loaded the online version of the site and the other when I loaded the local version. Anyway the site now displays as I intended in NetSurf #3966 whether it is downloaded or loaded locally both on both platforms and with both. versions of RISC OS. -- _ Brian Jordan Virtual RPC-AdjustSA on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit RISC OS 6.20 _ --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
