[nc] Android Webkit gives double-width spacing when Ubuntu Mono used as web font

To help with debugging this, please could you share how you got it onto the device.

If possible, can you take a screenshot with the two magic debugging characters '' and '' visible somewhere in the terminal text.

I followed your instructions and put the magic characters onto a webpage.
You can see the character in the red circle. The second character is not so
white as the first.
I don't know what you mean with 'how you got it onto the device' but the
font is includes via CSS from google font and then assigned with font-family
to a <pre> tag. I have done nothing special else. The page is online and you
can look at it under <http://module.create3000.de/tests/test-module.html>
The character are in the third line.

Additionally I add a image of browser details of my mobile.

Confirmed on an Android device in the office:

  http://module.create3000.de/wp-content/themes/module/css/all.css

causes:

  http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:regular,italic,bold,bolditalic|Ubuntu+Mono:400,700,400italic,700italic|Dancing+Script:700|Vidaloka|Playfair+Display|IM+Fell+French+Canon+SC|PT+Sans+Narrow

The result of that file depends on the Browser User-Agent, so we need to see a copy from the Android device itself to see what subset/transformed .ttfs are actually being sent from the Google Web Fonts.

Then we need to get those custom .ttfs and investigate whether the issue is just in those on Android, or occurs on raw versions used as a webfont on Android.

Hopefully:

  http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu+Mono:400

will produce the same result and be shorter to hand type in.

I tested on my android phone and I only have the problem when I activate the "mobile view" in the parameters of the browser. In normal view, it seems the font is not used (magic caracter don't appear)

To switch, go on you browser to the parameters and check or uncheck mobile view (or something similar).

browser version 2.2, webkit 3.1
