Pointing mozilla at ~raeburn/www/fixed.html, which contains only:
<html><head></head><body><pre>0123456789</pre></body></html>
... causes the number "1" to be displayed with sort of a blue shadow
to the right of the vertical bar. See /mit/raeburn/blue.xwd for
example. The color scheme otherwise seems to be black text on white
background, but I can't reproduce this problem in an xterm with the
fonts listed in my X resources, and I'm not sure what font mozilla is
picking.
Some possibly relevant X resources:
% xrdb -q | egrep -i 'ground|font'
*background: MidnightBlue
*bodyFont: 6x10
*font: 7x13
*foreground: LightBlue
*iconFont: 6x10
Emacs*font: 7x14
Emacs*modeline.attributeBackground: yellow
Emacs*modeline.attributeForeground: darkblue
sipb-xscreensaver*UseBackground: on
sipb-xscreensaver*background: black
sipb-xscreensaver*foreground: green
zwgc*font0: 6x10
%
The mozilla preferences page lists "monospace: monospace 12".
Display info:
screen #0:
dimensions: 1600x1024 pixels (473x302 millimeters)
resolution: 86x86 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
root window id: 0x48
depth of root window: 24 planes
This is an Apple DVI display, driven by the Matrox version of the
driver, not the X.org version (which doesn't seem to handle DVI
output).
