I'm using Amaya 9.1 on Windows XP Home SP1 on a Celeron 800 laptop. I tried using Amaya to read my website (http://samvit.org), both offline (my local copy) and online. I was surprised to see that the styles suggested by my CSS were not rendered properly by Amaya. That means - some layout like the color scheme etc were implemented, but the size of the h- elements, and more importantly for me, the serif fonts which I recommended using: body { font-family: Gentium, "Palatino Linotype", Verdana, Tahoma, serif; } namely Gentium and Palatino - do not get used at all, though my system certainly has them (those fonts). I wonder why. It's only in the *absence* of a previous font that a later font suggested in a stylesheet gets used, no? Or is Amaya trying to behaving like an *average* system, where the two serif fonts I suggested do not necessarily exist? Does Amaya then have an internal list of "web-safe fonts"? Even this does not answer the question of why the styles are not implemented as recommended by me. Also: I found that Amaya doesn't give any space between <p> elements, while Mozilla does, automatically. Since I used Mozilla in the previewing of my web pages before I uploaded them, I thought all the paragraphs are nicely spaced. But Amaya doesn't show them spaced at all. What to do? If I explicitly suggest a margin-top margin-bottom value pair for the <p> element using CSS, can I trust to it that all browsers that support CSS will space the <p> elements uniformly? Thanks in advance... -- STAY CCE +2005-05-10 +0530 http://samvit.org/calendar
