379143 - big font, overridden by smaller font, leaves over-large space above

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

I am going to attach a reftest test file and reference file to demonstrate this. I think the gist of it is that if one has:

    <font point-size="200"><font style="font-size: 0.5em">X</font></font>

then the glyph is displayed at the correct size but the character is flowed down the page as if it was a much larger character, as if the glyph was going to take up more space. I believe that this is incorrect.

This is correct behavior.  See CSS2.1, section 10.8 (and 10.6.1).
