Description merl 2012-12-01 23:12:07 UTC
I am using vector Skin. My recent changes list is showing two different fonts.

For an wikidata item the font family sans-serif is defined inline:
<li class="mw-line-even mw-changeslist-line-watched watchlist-0-Q121353">
<span class="wb-itemlink">
<span class="wb-itemlink-label" lang="de" dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">(1030) Vitja</span>
<span class="wb-itemlink-id">(Q121353)</span>
</span>
</li>

For other rows in my watchlist html contain this code:

<li class="mw-line-odd mw-changeslist-line-watched watchlist-9-Gadget-autoEdit_js">
<span class="mw-title">
<a class="mw-changeslist-title" title="MediaWiki talk:Gadget-autoEdit.js" href="/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Gadget-autoEdit.js">MediaWiki talk:Gadget-autoEdit.js</a>
</span>
</li>

No font is defined inline that is why my browser is using this css entry:
 * common styles independent from JavaScript being enabled or disabled
 *
 * @since 0.1
 * @file
 * @ingroup Wikibase
 *
 * @license GNU GPL v2+
 * @author H. Snater
 */

* {
	/* defining Arial as default font working around problematic font metrics of Helvetica applied
	in Firefox and Opera on Mac cutting off high characters like "Å" in some cases */
	font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}

Arial is not my default sans-serif font. That's why two fonts are mixed up in recent changes. [Quoted html only shows important hierarchy.]

Arial is not always available. I guess this workaround will only work on Windows.
Comment 2 merl 2012-12-02 22:33:29 UTC
As long as both font definitions are equal it doesn't mapper if Arial is installed or not. Only if Arial is installed, but not the default sans-serif font, fonts are mixed on recent changes view.

The particular declaration was removed some months ago. Can you please re-confirm the faulty behaviour or close the bug if it is not valid anymore?
Comment 4 Andre Klapper 2013-03-08 09:33:34 UTC
merl: Could you answer comment 3, please?
Comment 5 Andre Klapper 2013-04-11 13:36:48 UTC
merl: Could you answer comment 3 if this is still a problem, please?
Comment 6 Andre Klapper 2013-06-25 13:09:20 UTC
Unfortunately closing this report as no further information has been provided.

merl: Please feel free to reopen this report if you can provide the information asked for and if this still happens. Thanks!
