Hi,
Are the serif and sans serif fonts rendered the wrong way round on
GNU/Linux? If I choose a sans serif font I get a serif font and vice
versa.
Below is the source of a test document and here's a screenshot of how it
renders for me (Fedora Core 3):

<p style="font-family: times">The quick brown fox (should be serif).</p>
<p style="font-family: helvetica">The quick brown fox (should be
sans).</p>
</body>
</html>
Is this a bug?
Leon...
P.S. I agree with the previous poster who suggested using generic font
names, i.e. "serif", "sans-serif" and "monospace". Generic names are
even more appropriate for cross-platform application such as Amaya.
