Sometimes, after running Firefox for a while, some pages will start showing some letters in a slightly larger size than the rest. This is best illustrated by the two attached screenshots. Notice how the letter "e" is rendered too high in bad_fonts.png. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Not reproducible. Sometimes happens after a while. Restarting Firefox makes the problem go away. When it happens, it doesn't happen on all fonts on all pages, only on some fonts on some pages. A few weeks ago I tried setting DisplaySize 295 390 explicitly in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but that didn't make a difference. I'm attaching my xorg.conf file, and here the output of xdpyinfo: [1144 ~] xdpyinfo name of display: :0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The X.Org Foundation vendor release number: 60802000 X.Org

Fedora Core 4 using GNOME, all the latest patches/updates.
Have you ever experienced this on other Linux (or other OS) machines?
No, but I only use one Linux computer.
Can you reproduce this in an official Mozilla build of Firefox?
I'll try...
reporter: "I don't get to use Linux at work anymore, so I can't try to reproduce this." does it get marked INVALID, since it's not a mozilla build?
Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
Whiteboard: CLOSEME 07/14
Version: unspecified → 1.5.0.x Branch
No response from reporter re: comment 10 -->INCOMPLETE. Reporter, if you still see this problem with the latest release of Firefox 2, please reopen this bug. Thanks!

I'm finally running Linux again at work (I had to switch jobs shortly after filing this bug and had to use Windows), so I'll keep an eye on it. It's been a couple of weeks and so far so good.
