FWIW, I encountered this error message myself some time ago. In my case the backtrace told me that it was related to the font size spec in the default.css in w3/etc. I could get rid of the error by changing default.css. I don't remember how exactly; it was something with removing a "+", or somesuch. A backtrace should tell you more. But I don't know if this is a proper solution (I doubt it). > Anyone have an opinion[3] on W3 vs. emacs-w3m? IMHO Emacs/W3 feels a lot more emacsish. Well, it is written in Elisp anyways. I really wish it would be more actively developed, because actually it is my favourite browser. And yes, I know emacs-w3m and I use it as a last resort, when Emacs/W3 fails to render a page. I am not happy with this, though. Oliver -- 14 Brumaire an 211 de la Révolution Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
