Qutebrowser troubleshooting
Custom Root CA Cert
QWebEngine can be picky if you installed your custom root-CA cert in
/etc/ssl/certs/.
You can install it for your current user as a workaround.See https://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/jan.holthuis/posts/using-burpsuite-with-qutebrowser
and https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/843certutil -d "sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb" -A -i mycert.pem -n "wiki" -t C,,
Terminal Editor
It is wasteful to install gvim/nvim-qt if you are only using it for this.
Instead try configuring your terminal." ~/.config/qutebrowser/config.py " " (c/config) objects are added to scope magically c.editor.command = ['gvim', '-f', '{}'] c.editor.command = ['st', '-e', 'vim', '{}'] c.editor.command = ['xterm', '-e', 'vim', '{}']
qutebrowser tooltip illegible
You can fix this with qt5ct style overrides.
/* ~/.config/qt5ct/qss/darkmode_tooltip.qss */ QToolTip{ background: #f8f0dc; border-radius: 0px; border: 0px solid #000000; padding: 2px; color: #5c6a72; }# ~/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf [Appearance] standard_dialogs=gtk2 [Interface] stylesheets=/home/will/.config/qt5ct/qss/darkmode_tooltip.qssQT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct qutebrowser
Ugly Github/Stack Overflow Fonts
Fix by overriding the Helvetica font with Droid Sans
NOTE:
This can also be performed for a single user alone in
~/.fonts.conf~/.fonts.conf<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"><string>Helvetica</string></test> <edit name="family" mode="assign" binding="same"><string>Droid Sans</string></edit> </match> </fontconfig>Then rebuild the font-cache, and test using fc-match.
fc-cache -fr # force rebuilding of font-cache fc-match helvetica # check to see which font answers to helveticaSee :
Explanation:
The problem is that github's css stylesheet configures the body like this:
body { font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol"; }Helvetica is specified before Arial. Helvetica is a non-free font, and I have a different uglier font that is registering as helvetica. So the ugly helvetica approximation is being used instead of Arial.
You can see where this logic is coming from using fc-match.
fc-match Helvetica #Helvetica-Compressed.otf: "Helvetica Compressed" "Regular"You can very easily test this by creating a dummy webpage, and styling it to use the same CSS rules specified above:
<html> <style> body { font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol"; } </style> <body> Some text to be rendered using the font-family rule specified above. </body> </html>
