I have now removed _all_ the fonts from
SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.!Boot.Resources.!Fonts
apart from System, but the page
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0173%3Atext%3DSym.
is still rendered OK by NetSurf with all the Greek text fine apart for the
bold /mu problem. Can I take it that this has to be a fault with the
fonts Corpus, Homerton and Trinity in Resources:$.Fonts somewhere? I must
say, I did not know that these had been extended to unicode. Pity about
the wrong style /mu if this is in the official Rpi distro.

That's odd. 740 has been happily running here in Iyonix (5.18) since I
downloaded it earlier.

window.prompt and window.alert do appear towork but their message
windows are being automatically dismissed by subsequent commands. So
only the window.confirm popup remains.
window.open does not seem to do anything.

Bad news - loops on Iyonix, needs alt-break to stop.
Good news - runs on Raspberry Pi with mixed results:
document.write - yes
window.confirm - yes
window.prompt - no
window.alert - no
window.open - no
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("hello world");
x = window.prompt( "prompt for a number", "" );
window.alert( "This is an alert message to the user" );
window.confirm( "This is a confirm message to the user" );
window.open("")
</script>

Bad news - loops on Iyonix, needs alt-break to stop.
Good news - runs on Raspberry Pi with mixed results:

Experimentation has indicated that it is the Exo font on the Rpi
which is causing overheavy /Delta and /pi glyphs. My only
problem now is getting rid of the overheavy /mu. Apart from that
Greek text is rendered quite elegantly, diacritics and all, but
finding which fonts are responsible will need further work.
I am getting the same display on Rpi and Iyonix, which have different
fonts installed, so I can probably rule out the fonts that do not
appear on both.

Similar results on Iyonix 5.19. Does get as far as putting icon on
icon bar.

Just downloaded this build; ARMini, RISC OS 5.19, (16 May 2012).
Mixed results, but not helped much because I don't really know what
I'm looking for!. All my usual pages seem to work OK:
www.groups.google.com/ looks as if it's repeatedly trying to load and failing; this worked with previous builds.
http://www.mssociety.org.uk/near-me/branches/cheltenham-and-north-cotswold-branch
(sorry, should be all one line) still doesn't format as it does in
Windows Firefox; the "About us" and "Contact" should be two separate
tabs; no idea if this is a JavaScript thing.
http://www.metcheck.com/UK/today.asp?zipcode=GL52%203DS
is still missing a lot of detail compared with Firefox, and the "Conf"
icons down the right hand side deliver only a part of their content.
Like many others I'm very grateful that JavaScript is being worked on,
but I think there's still a way to go. If testing by an ignoramus is
worth it, please suggest to me some other sites to try.
With best wishes,
Peter.
