bo. yes. before we used to pre-define a set of fonts in our css: Arial Helvetica sans-serif. The problem was that the height of Arial and the height of Microsoft Yahei given the same point size were different and the logic we had for cropping text to make it fit a special space got confused. We changed everything so that there are no predefined font defined in feedly, we instead just say sans-serif and let the user/browser define their favorite font. Overtime, we will clean things up to allow users to better control font-sizes too.
I have not favor to ask you: can you please add a comment here http://jandan.net/2008/11/27/feedly.html mentioning that the font problem has been fixed? It seems that a lot of other people experienced the same problem.
Many thinks for helping understand the root cause of this problem. Much appreciated.

Inappropriate?Hi. Could you please attach the URL of a feed with chinese in the title so that we can try to reproduce this problem please? Thank you.

-
Inappropriate?if the title is in chinese ,it just show "..." instead
-
Inappropriate?Thanks. I understand the problem. It is related the logic we use for cropping titles so that they fit on one line and the fact the the height of the chinese characters are taller. Question: are you running on windows, mac or linux?
-
Inappropriate?I see. so it should be easy to solve this problem. should I change the font in firefox setting? or any other means.
I run on win vista, firefox3.0 -
Inappropriate?Hello. I tried to reproduce this problem and I could not. See embedded image. But I am running feedly on firefox 3.0 on Mac OS X. We have a windows machine in the office. I will try feedly on it tomorrow. If it is OK with you, I sent you a debug build so that we can get more information on why this problem is happening?

It works. Thank you. i thing this problem may be caused by the Yahei fonts. -
Inappropriate?OK, this happened to me..
I'm using feedly in firefox 3.0.4 and Fedora 10 (linux). And I think check out the option is not a great idea.
So, what should I do next? -
Inappropriate?not sure. Can you please send me the URL of a couple of feeds where this is happening? Do you have Arial font on Fedora? if not what is the default font?
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. -
Inappropriate?No, there is no Arial in Fedora.. And my default font is Microsoft YaHei (also the default font in Vista).
Every title\tab in chinese turned into a dot. And sorry, I have uninstall feedly , sad but true...
But I still have to say, the gui is amazing! -
Inappropriate?Win XP-SimplifiedChinese, FF3.0.4-English, same problem.
I am using Vista's default font of Chinese version, Microsoft YaHei, file name "MSYH.TTF" in "fonts" folder, and all titles in feedly turnded into dots. When I change Firefox's fonts option back to XP's default font "SongTi", file name "SIMSUN.TTC" or "SURSONG.TTF" in "fonts" folder, it works. I have that check mark on, just change back to XP's default font. So maybe the font "Microsoft YaHei" is the bad guy. YaHei is the default font of Chinese version Vista, it looks very good on LCDs, although Vista sucks, but it will rule chinese desktops soon. I think feedly should pay attention to this. Thank you. -
Inappropriate?http://download.microsoft.com/downloa...
This is the download link of font "YaHei" which I am using on XP. Hope it will be helpful. -
Inappropriate?Thank you very much Bo. We will try to reproduce this problem today.
-
Inappropriate?Bo: once again thanks for all the pointers. Here is what I tried: On a regular Windows XP machine, I installed the Microsoft fonts based on the link you provided. Then I configured firefox to use the Microsoft YaHei font and not allow the web page to overwrite that font information. Then in feedly, I added a random chinese blog (http://www.getpowers.net/). But despite that I am not able to reproduce the problem: both the category name, the feed title and article titles seems to work fine.
Do you know if this problem is happening on a specific blog/category for you? If you are able to reproduce the problem, would it be possible for me to give you access to a special build that would allow us to understand why the titles are reduced to a "."?
Thanks,
Edwin

Inappropriate?Win XP Pro SP3 SimplifiedChinese with Microsoft YaHei installed, Firefox 3.0.4 English.
Situation A,
With fonts set to YaHei and option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of selecrions above" on. -
Inappropriate?
Situation B,
With fonts set to YaHei and option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of selecrions above" off. -
Inappropriate?
Situation C,
With fonts set to SongTi and option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of selecrions above" on. -
Inappropriate?
Situation D,
With fonts set to SongTi and option "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of selecrions above" off. -
Inappropriate?As you can see, all titles begin with Chinese characters turned into dots. This is happening on all Chinese blogs. I tried changing font size, but it didn't work. Have option "Allow pages..." off is surely solve the situation, but obviously it breaks original design of the web pages.
And also you can see difference between YaHei (default font of Vista) and SongTi (default font of XP), YaHei is much better.
I don't have Vista machines right now, so I can't test this with Vista.
And Yes, I am willing to help you guys test a beta version. -
Inappropriate?Thank you Bo. This is *very* helpful. I will take a look at this later this evening and see if with your instructions I can reproduce this problem.
-
Inappropriate?Bo: you are great. Thanks to you help, we are able to reproduce this problem. We will try to patch it tomorrow. I will update this thread as soon as the problem is fixed. Thank you! -Edwin
-
Inappropriate?Bo: Here is an update: we think we know what is the root cause of the problem. We have a build for you to try out if you have the time:
http://update.feedly.com/daily/feedly... if you can confirm that this build fixes the problem, we will try to roll out the patch to everyone on Monday. Thanks again for your help. It is much appreciated.
Note to all users: this is what we call a daily build: we do not suggest that you install it because it does not include the patching and therefore you would be stuck with that build. As soon as bo confirms that the problem is fixed, we will put out an official patch. Bo: when you are done with the testing, please re-install the app from http://update.feedly.com/release/feed... -
Inappropriate?Unfortunately.....
Using YaHei with "Allow pages..." on. -
Inappropriate?Same result here~~
-
Inappropriate?bo, biAji, thank you for the feedback. We did one more iteration. When you have a few minutes, could you please try: http://update.feedly.com/release/feed...
Thank you,
Edwin

Inappropriate?Yeah, dude, you rock it finally~!
Congratulation! Thanks!! -
Inappropriate?Great!
You set all "font-family" to "sans-serif" and just let browser choose fonts itself, right?
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I've the same problem. The version of Feedly is 1.2.278 (build 2640). I think it's the newest version now. Do I missed something or had wrong settings?
I've tried to dsiable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above", it can resolve the problem. But I think it isn't perfect solution.
I used Ubuntu 904 and Firefox 3.0.10.
