101134 - OS/2 only - ALIGN=JUSTIFY on paragraphs doesn't work correctly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Luke Levesque]

If you go to this URL and scroll to the bottom, the last few paragraphs have a
few words where the text is all jumbled together.

Sometimes they look a little better when you highlight the text.  I've tried
paging up and down to refresh the screen, as well as reloading Mozilla, to no avail.

OK, attachment is up.

My video card is an nVidia riva-TNT2 M64, running with SDD Beta 43.

If it turns out to be an SDD problem, let me know and I'll bring it up with them.

It appears to have to do with the ALIGN=JUSTIFY. The HTML entity in the line
makes this extra bad, but even without the HTML entity, we still have problems
selecting the text.

The main display problem, though, is that ALIGN=JUSTIFY doesn't work on OS/2 if
two fonts are mixed (as they are in this case because of our Unicode
substitution used for the &146; entity.

Fix checked in.

For this page to work right, you must set your Unicode font to Times New Roman 
MT 30.

We have added this to os2pref.js, but if you use an existing profile, it won't 
work.

OK, I went to the test URL and it looks good on build 2001101616.  Couldn't see
any 'running together' of text even when selected.
