(Cyrix P166 32 megs M4 binaries) A simple page apparently written with Composer 4.5; one table, no javascript, but a redundant <font> tag on every line. When called from www.gmu.edu/welcone the sytem hung w/o output. When called directly, browser hung after outputting one line.

I can load the above URL using either M4 or the April 15 build for Win95 (opt). I assume from the default parms on this bug report that you (jfr@clark.net) are also using Win95/PC. (This is not to say that others aren't seeing this bug; simply that I can't duplicate with (what I think is) the same test environment). A couple of observations: 1) This page uses <FONT FACE>'s: "Albertus Medium", "Arrus BT" and "Comic Sans MS". I do not have "Albertus Medium" and "Arrus BT" as installed fonts on my system. Question: do you? (look in \WINDOWS\FONTS). 2) I noticed in the HTML that there is a line (at the very bottom of the page) that inserts a linefeed between 'Arrus' and 'BT'. The exact (verbatim) lines are : <br><i><font face="Arrus BT"><a href="mailto:jlafreni@gmu.edu">jlafreni@gmu.edu</a></font></i> <p><img SRC="/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?df=welcome_Directions_to_gmu_html.dat&dd=A" > </body> What would be interesting (jfr@clark.net) would be to modify a local copy of the HTML to do the following (separate tests) and see what happens: (1) use a text editor to fix the linefeed in the middle of the 'Arrus{LF}BT' sequence. (2) use a "vanilla" font in the page (e.g., 'Arial', 'Helvetica' or 'sans-serif') and see if the problem (on your system) 'disappears'). Cheers, John p.s. whatever the resolution, the component (OJI) should be changed: there are no <APPLET>|{<OBJECT>|<EMBED>} tags in this page.

Reassigning to rickg since he should know who this gets assigned to.

I found that by deleting all but the 1st 'face="Arrus BT"' ( a valid font for me) the page would load for me (www.clark.net/pub/jfr/directions.html). I made an ultra simple page with multiple font calls (www.clark.net/pub/jfr/xx.html) and it hung. I made a page with only two font calls (www.clark.net/pub/jfr/xy.html) and it loaded OK. It seems that multiple, identical contexts are being loaded and eating resources, which is not supposed to happen. jfr@clark.net

Using 4/27 Apprunner on Win 95, page loads with no problem. Marking it fixed per rickg and verifying it fixed.
