If you check about:config, there are a couple of lines which don't add up:

PROGDIR:Users//FontGlyphCache
PROGDIR:Users//Cookies
PROGDIR:Users//URLdb
PROGDIR:Users//Hotlist

This would mean these files are in progdir: instead of 'users'.

There should be a "Default" or some other value between those two slashes.  Does GETENV USER return anything?


Setting user to 'default' works now.
Still some (most ?) of the options aren't working/loaded yet I guess.
For example: homepage_url works, but enable_javascript doesn't.

JS isn't compiled in, because GCC optimisation issues I can't fix.


That was just an example. Netsurf should still be able to read the option and show it in about:config. Same with block_advertisements & do_not_track (and others ?).

Still have to find out what caused the crash when reading fonts the first time though (changed all the fonts with another set).

Found the cause(s) why some options didn't work as expected.

1) I used true instead of 1.
2) I used a space before the option.

And the font handling, hmmmm. Seems to only like/put 1 font at the time in the cache file.

0x0020 "CGTriumvirate"
0x0021 "CGTriumvirate"
0x0022 "CGTriumvirate"

or

0x0020 "LetterGothic"
0x0021 "LetterGothic"
0x0022 "LetterGothic"
0x0023 "LetterGothic"

You will only get this file if you have switched off using diskfont - use_diskfont:0
The default for OS3 is use_diskfont:1 (if you're using the latest version).

If that isn't setting itself for some reason please tell me.


Well use_diskfont:0 locks up the machine completely.

Tried the latest version. Seems the program calls the picture.datatype quite a few times. But it opens the font even more (hundreds and hundreds of times). Normally these should be loaded in memory just one time, or am i wrong !?!
