213797 - Some greek letters invisible

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 190278

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

Description

[Greg Lindahl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

On the referenced webpage, my machine only displays the first and last 2 letters
int the string. The first letter of the "normal" line is displayed boldface.

If I select the invisible letters using the mouse, they appear. But they're
funny looking; very thin, and the bold & italic letters look like the normal
letters.

If I select some invisible letters *and* the leading Beta, the invisible letters
stay invisible.

Are you using an xft build?

Comment 2

[Greg Lindahl]

I don't think it's an xft build. I just downloaded the rpms from here; I think
the ones at:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.4/contributed/Red_Hat_8x_RPMS/gtk2/RPMS/i386/

mozilla-nspr-1.4-0
mozilla-psm-1.4-0
mozilla-nss-1.4-0
mozilla-1.4-0

To blizzard; I'm not seeing the problem with normal nightly or milestone builds,
but I am seeing it with his rpm build.

(those RPMs _are_ Xft builds, fwiw)
