User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0 On several pages, with a short variety of different HTML elements, I have noticed that text in these elements overlaps with the text to the right and/or left. This seems to occur most times that the deprecated <b> and <i> elements are used, and also seems to occur if the preferred <em> element is used in a non-standard form, for instance: <em class="sound">ahem</em>. I have been able to temporarily alleviate these problems by modifying the style sheets to insert padding of 0.5em to the em element. Testing on my end has not reproduced this problem on the Windows or Linux builds of 2.0. I've noticed this since upgrading to v2.0. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit a page with those HTML elements. Actual Results: Every time I visit a page with the deprecated italics tags, or with these emphasis tags, I am seeing the text of those elements overlapping the other text in their paragraphs. Expected Results: This text should not overlap. This makes it very difficult to read the content.
I think this is a dupe of bug 288047.
Yes. Cleaning up extra fonts should fix this issue for you.
