Everytime I connect to Wikipedia, it keep getting asked to download
additional (foreign) fonts. (My settings are to ASK, not
automatically
download addons). I'm going to English sites, so there is no reason
to
need the fonts. I never download them, I cant read foreign languages
anyhow. But everytime I go to wikipedia I got answer "NO" two to
four
times. It's annoying.
This is for K-Meleon browser.
I don't know the answer, but thought I should tell you you are not
alone
- I used to get that a lot too. Not sure why it stopped - possibly
different browser/machine; I haven't been to Wikipedia on my old '98
for
ages. (IIRR, Korean was a "popular" one.)
Possibly a K-Meleon issue? Or maybe his specific version of it?
Wonder
if it happens to him with any other browser.
It happened to me and I have never used K-Meleon; it would have been
Netscape or Firefox for me.
It "happened" to you as in past tense? What did you do to fix it?
Since
I'm primarily using IE8 I don't know. I only use Firefox, or more often,
Pale Moon, on special occasions, however.
I'm not sure I ever fixed it: it's years since I saw it, but I'm now
using Firefox (now 11, though I think from 3.x on) on XP; when I
remember Wikipedia asking for extra fonts (actually IIRR it asked for a
"package" or something, which might not have been just fonts), I was
using a '98SElite machine, with the browsers shown (Netscape would have
been probably version 7 - probably 7.2 - and Firefox version 2.x [I
don't have Kernelex], though I don't think I had Firefox on it in the
days I used to get this problem).
IIRR I usually said no, and whatever Wiki page I was looking at still
came up fine; I might have said yes once or twice (what it wanted to
load was I think rather big for dialup use), and I _think_ it loaded OK
but didn't change anything (including the asking). But this last part is
very hazy memory.
I thought you liked the older versions, like me? :-) FF11?? What are you
doing with FF11? I still have version 3.5 installed.
You also might consider Pale Moon, which I believe is more streamlined for
windows, and not a bunch of OS's. At any rate, Pale Moon seems quicker to
load for me (esp the first time).
