When you go to the font selection dialogue in Firefox:-
Edit - Preferences - Content - Fonts & Colours/Advanced
There's a horizontal line in the list of fonts you get to select
when you click on the Serif, Sans-serif or Monospace selection bar.
Does anyone know what this horizontal line indicates?
I originally thought the ones below the line might be the monospace
fonts but that's obviously not right on inspection. Is it possibly
that the ones below the line are bit-map fonts?
It would actually make selecting a font much easier if there was some
sort of indication against each font to tell you whether it's a
monospace or proportional font. Some are obvious but not all.
Also, a final question, there are fonts one can select called
'monospace', 'serif' and 'sans-serif'. Presumably if you use these
then what you get is the system default which is defined somewhere in
the build/distribution, there aren't actual font files with these
names. Have I got this right?
