380337 - Gecko overlaps some site fonts when they are formatted (bold, italic, hyperlink)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 118902

(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[Alexander]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070501 Camino/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070501 Camino/1.5

Any time I visit certain sites (such as Caminobrowser's website, Word Press, and others), any bold, italic, and especially hyperlinked text is moved to the left and overlaps the preceding text. The sites don't seem to use any font in common in their CSS style sheets. For example, Word Press is serif and Camino's Home is sans-serif, both with different family names.

The problem can be resolved if I make my browser "use my fonts" regardless of the site's fonts, but I don't want to restrict the font settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that your browser is not only using your fonts.
2. Visit my test page.
Actual Results:  
Formatted text and hyperlinks overlap and don't show properly. Some are unreadable.

Expected Results:  
No overlapping and normal spacing.

iBook G4, Mac OS 10.4.9. This problem has occurred with every version of Camino that I've tested and now occurs in Firefox.

For future reference, rendering bugs that occur in both Firefox and Camino should be filed against Core, not Camino.
