(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

There are two p elements within a blockquote. Only the first line of text in each is rendered.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://blog.fawny.org/2007/11/28/not-metrolisboa/
Actual Results:  
There are two p elements within a blockquote. Only the first line of text in each is rendered.

Expected Results:  
All the text within the blockquote should be rendered.

Reducing the text-size one click from default (View > Make text smaller) or increasing it two clicks from default (View > Make text bigger) results in the text being rendered correctly. 

Drag-selecting shows the text is there, it's just not actually visible.

This works OK for me with a fresh profile. What are your font size/face prefs? (Preferences:Appearance:Fonts) Does a fresh profile fix it? Use

to temporarily create a fresh profile.

Do you have the 'New Vista' fonts installed ? (Constantia, or Candara,...). Or eventually other Windows true type fonts (Bitstream Vera, DejaVu,...)?

With all those fonts, I see the same issue on the most recent Bon Echo nightly build.

(and yes, Joe goes a bit crazy with his stylesheet)

@Chris Lawson - I still see the issue with a fresh profile. Prefs are as per default: Times, 16pt / Courier, 13pt.

@philippe - Ah, that'll be it. I do indeed have the "New Vista" fonts installed. Disabling them fixes the issue.

Incidentally, I'm seeing the same effects here:

philippe, is this a dupe of bug 288047, or is it some other, new Core bug (and is it branch-only)?

Comment 5

[philippe (part-time)]

It is branch 1.8 only. Trunk handles those just fine (some nice fonts btw).
bug 288047: yeah, same underlying issue, I think. Windows ttf format. It is only a little bit worse than with other fonts.

Let's dupe this to bug 288047, then.
