Font change on website

Post by Kisrah Ferraris »

Since a recent NoScript update, I've started noticing a change in font size on a particular website.

The font at http://www.roliana.com/phpBB3/ changed in their menus, boards, thread titles, and other places too.

After checking through all my addons, I've found that NoScript is the culprit.

Any way to fix this? The change in size is proving to be a big problem as it's creating an overlap in text in some places, rendering it impossible to click some links!

I'm thinking you see something about "NoScript Blocking cross-site JavaScript served from [...].googlecode.com/[...] with wrong type info [etc, etc]" in the Browser Console (Ctrl-Shift-J) when the issue occurs. Please contact the webmaster and alert them that googlecode is shutting down soon, and suggest they self-host whatever they're calling from googlecode! As a code repository, it was never meant to have stuff directly included from there anyway (bad practice in general because you really don't know what someone will commit to a repository).

Let us know if this problem persists after they make that change.

Actually, are you running 2.9.0.5rc3 or later (or 2.9.0.5 release or later)? If so, does downgrading to NoScript 2.9.0.5rc2 let it work again?

Downgrading helped.

I've passed on the message about googlecode, but there's no telling whether they will actually implement any changes. Is there anything I can do on my end to resolve this? I don't want to be stuck with an older version on NoScript.

There are a lot of threads here about 2.9.0.5 breaking various sites. This is a NoScript bug that needs to be fixed on the NoScript side.
(if it's google fonts, see viewtopic.php?f=7&t=21722 for more on this specific issue?)

Downgrading NoScript to 2.9.0.4 is probably the best work-around while we wait for Giorgio to fix the bug(s).

Okay. If the site does make any changes with googlecode, I'll let you know what happens.

Thanks for your help! :)
