Details

The fix for bug 99010 only has a fix-up patch for PostScript. Therefore, 
PostScript. printing will be missing the newly added dynamic font heights -- 
until nsFontMetricsPS::GetStringDimensions() is implemented. That's the 
piece that is lacking.

The code for GetStringDimensions() is a slight GetWidth() in that at the place 
where font-switching arises, the maxAscent/maxDescent will also need to be 
sync:ed. This means that the ascent/descent of the "inner" fonts used in
GetStringWidth() may have to be cached when these fonts are created. This 
is basically the scenario that is happening on other platforms.

The tracker bug for GetStringDimensions() is bug 96609.
