Wiki stuff

[Mike Hearn]

Hi,

It seems some users have started creating pages that are simply intended
to dupe the appdb:

http://wiki.winehq.com/Running_Errors
http://wiki.winehq.com/WindowsGames

I doubt it makes any sense to have this sort of info on the wiki. What do
others think?

thanks -mike

More Wiki stuff: for some reason on my browser at least <pre> sections
aren't showing as a monospace font which makes embedded code hard to read.
Is this some CSS thing? Firefox renders text/plain files as monospace OK
so it's not my fonts.

thanks -mike

Yes, this is indeed rather strange. We used to have this:

pre {
        padding: 0.5em;
        font-family: courier, monospace;
....

For whatever reason, asking for courier/monospace for <pre> causes the
browser to display proportional fonts (at least for the two of us).
A fontconfig bug? Anyway, if I comment it out and let the browser use
its default font, it works.

Explanations about why this happens are most welcomed.

Could you post a link to a page that display this issue?

I just looked at http://wiki.winehq.org/InstallShield and it was fine on  
opera 8 but I did not have time to check to see how you had defined <pre>

May be worth keeping a non-linked version of a page to check this  
behaviour.

Not really, I've told you that the display problem (that is, you were
getting proportional fonts) occurred when the .css for <pre> contained
a line like so:
         font-family: courier, monospace;

I've commented that out, and now things work just fine. Take a look at:

Seeing as it's fixed now, that wouldn't be possible. It's not a problem.
