#215324 — Missing a "9" (possible font missing)

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi guys,

When I open this website:

https://chess-results.com/

Every "9" is written as a dash "-". If you look for any event year for the
current year you (well, at least me) will see 201-

I'm not sure how this come to be. I tried to look at the "html page source"
to detect what font it uses, but I saw no explanation there.

Some time ago I remember removing A LOT of fonts I don't need from my
computer (mostly not-latin). So maybe I removed something I shouldn't.

I tried with firefox and google chrome, both the same results. I installed
back
fonts-ibm-plex and fonts-noto-core to test, but still no "9" at the page.

I thought maybe it was a site problem, but when I used virtualbox and
chrome over windows 10, the "9" was there.

I changed the default font from firefox to "liberartion sans" but no luck.

Not sure how to proceed. What is the mystery?

My best,

Bèco.

There are many font finder apps. I use the WhatFont Chrome extension.
That page looks to be entirely in Verdana.

that depends on which fonts you have installed, according to the style
sheet the requested font for the body is one of:

	"Segoe UI", Verdana, "Lucida Grande", Arial, Helvetica,sans-serif;

however in the section "für die Turnierdatenbank" (tournament database)
there is only 

	FONT-FAMILY: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica;

Maybe this is the problem (although I would be surprised to learn that
neither firefox nor chrome can handle this)? Anyway, installing
ttf-mscorefonts-installer might be worth a try.


Regards

Michael

Dear Michael,

You got it right:

Installing:

# apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

solved the mystery.

Thanks.

No it is not: as long as you do not know what caused it, you cannot
pretend to have solved the *mystery*. At most, you may have solved the
*problem*, but most likely it will be back in similar circumstances.

I am pretty certain the problem is not on their side.

Hello Nicolas,

Yes, you are right, from the point of view of whoever is the webmaster.

But as I'm just a user in this case, it is solved in my end.

I'll send an email to the webmaster to let them know about the problem.
Though I have no hopes, and no intention to follow up.

Thanks,

Beco
