(Core :: Print Preview, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030420

As shown on the attached screenshot [I used powerpoint format - anyone have a
better suggestion?], when the attributes of type change the print preview shows
the text mis-aligned so that the "new" format text overlays the previous characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the cited URI
2. Select PrintPreview (portrait, shrink to fit)
3. Examine the text I've circled in the attachment: "nightmare" and "Guppi,"
will locate it.

Actual Results:  
Italic "(nig" in "(nightmare" overlays end of plain "packages", red + underlined
"Gup" in "Guppi" overlays plain "are".

Expected Results:  
laid out the text as it is printed

PNG or JPEG or GIF are some formats to post screenshots in especially for people
who don't have MSPP
