Description Alexandre Aractingi 2004-11-12 11:38:07 UTC
gtkhtml-3.1-3.2.2-2mdk
(btw: using Evo 2.0.1 under Mandrake 10.1)

Description of Problem:
When receiving messages from Outlook users:
- smileys [:-)] are displayed [J] within Evo
- default HTML Outlook fonts (arial, size=3) are too small compared to
mails coming from other clients (Evo for example), is there a way to make
the rendering bigger for these specific messages?

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Ask an Outlook user to send this message in HTML : "test :-)"
2. Open the message in Evo

Actual Results:
See that ":-)" became "J" and that the fonts are small

Expected Results:
":-)" displayed as ":-)" or the Outlookish emoticon

How often does this happen? 
Everytime I receive a message from an Outlook user in HTML

Additional Information:
Here is a sample message. The text version is ok, the HTML one refers to
Outlook emoticons and displays J instead of :-)

retargetting from 2.1 to 2.5 to get rid of that ancient milestones.
Comment 2 Rohini 2006-04-07 11:23:36 UTC
Outlook uses Wingdings font to put up smileys. The character J is equivalent to :) and L is equivalent to :(

Moreover outlook uses CSS formatting. 

The following line shows CSS formatting and Wingdings font usage for smileys.

<span
style='mso-char-type:symbol;mso-symbol-font-family:Wingdings'>J</span></span></font><font
size=2 face=Arial>

GtkHTML neither parse' CSS nor recognizes font face attribute.
