Messages prefpane preview will only display outgoing messages in Lucida Grande

Priority: normal Milestone: Adium X 1.2.5
Component: Message View Version: 1.2.4
Severity: regression Keywords: message view font

Pending: 0

Description

The outgoing font in message views appears to be stuck in Arial (or at least, it is for me...). I wrote the message style shown, so I know damn well it doesn't specify a font! This seems to occur whether or not there's a default font specified in Info.plist, too.

Ok, so a correction: in the preview display, it's actually stuck in Lucida Grande; though I think I'm still right that this is no matter what font is set as default.

In chat windows, I've realised that it's using Arial as that's what my outgoing font is set to. I'd assumed that changing the display settings in preferences would also work for my font, but it seems, strangely, I'm wrong on that count.

Correct. You can change your font via OSX's formatting palette (command-t or the format menu). Making this less confusing is being discussed in #1882. If I'm misunderstanding the issue, please reopen :)

The 'correction' comment was just irrelevant to the originally reported issue :)

I believe this is now fixed.

I'm not sure when this might have regressed, but as of 1.2svn, The problem is back. Except that the outgoing message will only display as Lucida Grande. I'll attach a screenshot that shows that "Gotta run; catch ya later ;)" is a different font.

Oh, and just so it's clear, this problem is only in the preview on messages pane of the prefs, not in actual messages.

Reoping as it has been reported that this has reappeared.

FWIW, the summary/title above specifies Arial, but the actual font that's "stuck" is Lucida Grande.

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.2 to Adium X 1.3.

Can anyone reproduce this?

Due to the work for the SoC stuff being on 1.2, I'm moving this to 1.3.

Yes. Under 1.1.2, the outgoing messages in the preview pane will not display the font chosen under Text Display:. The size, however, will be respected. Choose a completely wacky font to demonstrate this.

FWIW, I'd summarize this as "messages prefpane preview will only display outgoing messages in Lucida Grande". This problem is limited to the prefpane preview; real chats are fine.

The preview chat specifies a particular font for the outgoing message but has no font specified for the incoming one. This is supposed to allow one to demonstrate in real time the effects of the "show received message fonts" checkbox.

The intended behavior is:

  • With 'show received message fonts' enabled, the outgoing message is in Lucida Grande and the incoming one is on the font specified in the pref pane.
  • With 'show received message fonts' disabled, both incoming and outgoing messages display in the font specified in the pref pane.

(follow-up: ↓ 18 ) 09/17/2007 06:01:25 PM changed by mathuaerknedam

Weird.

The current behavior is:

  • With 'show received message fonts' enabled, the outgoing message is in Lucida Grande and the incoming one is Comic Sans.
  • With 'show received message fonts' disabled, the outgoing message is in Lucida Grande and the incoming one is in the font specified in the pref pane.

(in reply to: ↑ 17 ) 09/17/2007 06:12:51 PM changed by evands

Oops, I got 'incoming' and outgoing' backwards in my post.

Replying to mathuaerknedam:

The current behavior is: * With 'show received message fonts' enabled, the outgoing message is in Lucida Grande and the incoming one is Comic Sans. * With 'show received message fonts' disabled, the outgoing message is in Lucida Grande and the incoming one is in the font specified in the pref pane.

The incoming message is behaving exactly as it intended. The outgoing message is misbehaving.

Matching this up with #9524 and #9523 as they are all problems with the messages prefpane styles.

(In [23034]) I see no reason to force default attributes for decoded text to Lucda Grande 12; if the incoming HTML doesn't specify a font or size, we should produce an NSAttributedString which similarly doesn't specify. Along with [23033], fixes #5561 and fixes #9524.
