180358 - Fonts asked to display in italic, goes up rather than leans over.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 179667

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Loz Hygate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021114
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021114

If a font is chosen (e.g. as my monospace font) that does not have a native set
of italic glyphs, and a page requires a monospace italic font then instead of
getting characters that lean over, I get an upward sloping baseline. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




This is Mozilla 1.2b, with the gtk-2.0 patch. I'm also using xft and font-config.

The font in the picture is Lucidia Console, It happens with others, though.

You want to get a non-buggy freetype.  See bug 179667 comment 10
