Worksforme with a current trunk GTK1 build.

Sounds like an XFT bug or a font bug...

Comment 5

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

Those don't look like xft fonts to me.

Comment 6

i am using a non-XFT build of mozilla.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Odd.  Using the same fonts as reporter in a non-XFT build, I don't see the issue.

Over to Intl, but it would help to have a testcase that shows the bug....

Is 'Allow documents to use other fonts' checked or not in Edit | Pref |
Appearance | Fonts? Btw, the font in your screenshot doesn't look like
'Adobe-Times' or 'Adobe-Helvetica'. It's not 'Adobe-Courier', either. It's
likely that whatever font Mozilla happens to use is to blame.
