I got the new Dillo version 3.0.5 (in the master air-gapped box, which I
yet have to clone onto this, for online, same hardware box), as it is
available in gentoo:

https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-client/dillo/

but my problem with fonts (the FAQ issue
http://www.dillo.org/FAQ.html#q27), to which eocene has kindly given the
tip for in his message:

http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010500.html

For people reading this message offline, I'll paste his advice, since it is
also important:

If you go to dw/fltkplatform.cc and, in FltkFont::initSystemFonts(),
remove the leading underscore in
   _MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "",
to get
   MSG("Found font: %s%s%s\n", name, t & FL_BOLD ? " bold" : "",
and recompile, what does dillo say when you run it?

And I was saying that that problem I still have in my 3.0.5.

I hoped it would have been solved, but since it hasn't been, for me who
am not really a developer, to go and recompile means first get (finally,
it's been waiting for me since long) a little really deeper and dirty
with the Gentoo ebuild system, and, basically compile my own ebuild...
or...

Or get Gentoo developers to do it for all of the Dillo Gentoo users.

Since my eyes are sore from too small and non configurable fonts, I'm
afraid I will have to do one of the above...

For the latter, since this issue has been discussed, and previous to
eocene's message you can see that I extensively described it, what do
kind Dillo devs think: the second route to take, which is: file a bug on
Gentoo bugzilla with basically updated real output from the new Dillo
3.0.5, might probably be shorter route to get this issue fixed? That is
what I should try first, isn't it.

Oh, well, I hope I haven't been too lengthy.,,

Another issue I also have. Can't log into:

https://github.com/miroR

And was able to log into it with lynx, and open my new repo 
https://github.com/miroR/flowstamp

So it doesn't seem to be github follows the big JS-and-all browsers
else-get-lost policy like soo many...

Depending on the soonness of the fonts solution, I'd be willing to
provide more information, such as the full screencast/traffic-dump of my
future attempt to log into Github, so we get this done... Depending on
that being solved (I'm not expert by any means, and who knows if I get
any help from Gentoo devs, who are overworked).

Really depending on the fonts issue being solve first, as my eyes hurt
(born with somewhat poor eyesight, but getting worse, am 58 ys of age).

Cheers, and keep up the good work. I hope you all keep in harmony, as
soo much if missing for Dillo to become a complete browser... I'll be
pretty sad if any bad rifts were to appear among the team... Pls. find
the right way between yourselves, and do only what is right and honest
for all of you!

Much is missing in the Dillo, but, you seem to be the strongest around
that keep free! Free from surveillors! I was really right when in what I
posted on:

Secure: yes, Though Features Missing; and Bugs
http://lists.dillo.org/pipermail/dillo-dev/2015-April/010495.html

(too much to paste for offline readers, but in short, I compared the
Firefox harvesting on users with the sea-calm when online of kind and
secure Dillo)

Kind regards,
