180022 - font squished when DPI set to something other than 96 until selected/highlighted

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 152671

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

Description

[David Castro]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827

Set my font DPI to 91 instead of the default 96.  This has the side effect of
text being squished vertically or even chopping off a pixel.  It appears that
this is only true for text that has been scrolled onto the screen, however, not
for the intial text on the web page. The text returns to normal looking text
once I have selected it and stays fine until I scroll it off the screen and back
on.  This problem is consistent across web sites I visit.

I have my fonts set to the default, but will provide my font setup here for
completeness:

Font for: Western
Proportional: Serif  Size: 16
serif    : adobe-times-iso8859-1
sans     : adobe-helvetica-iso8859-1
cursive  : adobe-courier-iso8859-1
fantasy  : adobe-courier-iso8859-1
monospace: adobe-courier-iso8859-1  Size: 12
Minimum font size: none


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set DPI to 91 (or anything other than 96 I assume)
2.Load a document that has more text than fits on the current screen
3.Scroll down in the document
4.Viola, you shall see the magic of a squished font

Actual Results:  
Viola, you shall see the magic of a squished font

Expected Results:  
not shown me the magic of the squished font ;)

I am using the classic theme if that matters

I thought we coerced the DPI to a round number now... did that no go in till
after 1.1?

David Castro, please try to test with a recent build -- 1.1 is very old.

We have quite a few reports on this sort of issue. See tracking bug 134942.
