Glyph specifiers take the form "/name", where name is either the
PostScript glyph name or, in the case of RISC OS 5 may be "uni" or
"uni", where is the UCS-2 code for the glyph, and
"" specify the surrogate pair for a codepoint that isn't in the
base multilingual plane.
If you like, you can send me the font and I'll take a look.

Hubbub (and all other NetSurf project components) does not use autoconf
for its build system. It simply uses a Makefile.
Is there something in particular you're trying to do that Hubbub's
README doesn't cover?

This was fixed very soon after 2.1 was released. Please either update to
a development build or revert to NetSurf 2.0.

the new core functionality. Unfortunately, there is nobody to do this
for the RISC OS frontend, which prevents us from merging the new
functionality into the main development stream. This holds everything
else back, and we're reaching the end of our tolerance for such

get laid out correctly. More importantly, that page relies on a bunch of
CSS3 features we currently don't implement.
John.
legacy presentational hints is relatively
trivial and totally opaque to most of the browser.
If someone feels adventurous, they could compare section 10.2 of the
HTML5 specification (specifically, anything where "presentational hint"
is mentioned) with the node_presentational_hint function in css/select.c
in NetSurf's sources to see what's missing.

Correct. NetSurf's layout engine has no support for fully justified text
and simply treats it as left aligned. This is unlikely to be fixed any
time soon.
