Recent nightly builds of Camino display point-sized text remarkably smaller than
other browser. The rendering has changed since Camino 0.7 release. Mozilla and
Safari display text in the same size as Camino 0.7.

Is this a resolution thing (72dpi vs. 96dpi)?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See the page in the attached URL and compare the results between browsers.

And one more thing... Here are my font prefs, which are identical in the two
Camino screenshots:

user_pref("font.minimum-size.x-western", 10);
user_pref("font.name.cursive.x-western", "Lucida Grande");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Lucida Grande");
user_pref("font.name.serif.x-western", "Georgia");
user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 12);
user_pref("font.size.variable.x-western", 14);

pink, is there a DPI setting that we didn't carry over to the trunk?

on my system this looks like its still an open issue (Camino 2003052304) - 14pt
type looks to be rendering as

Marking new although i have a feeling the component should be prefs

Well, adding this:

user_pref("browser.display.screen_resolution", 96);

to user.js seems to fix it. So perhaps somebody just forgot to include this in
all.js or wherever stuff like this goes...

I know we recently had some changes applied to the way fonts wher diplayed and
so I'm no longer to reproduce this bug. All displayed fonts in Camino appear to
have the same height being either sized in pixels or points. So I'm gone mark
this bug as WFM using 20040319 NB.
