51553 - text incorrectly concatenated

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47154

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Clark O. Morgan]

+ install mozilla on an NT host.  Configure the NT host to use large desktop
fonts (this may or may not be important).

+ configure mozilla with these font prefs:

   Western
   Times New Roman    16
   Arial

   <default type: serif>

   Courier New        13

    <font display resolution: 96>

+ browse this URL:

http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/star_mysterious000901.html

+ notice that many words in the page are concatenated into nonsense
 (e.g., "be a" -> "bea", and "a bipolar" -> "abipolar", etc).

IE renders this page just fine.

May or may not be a dup of bug 47154 depending on how old your build is 
(reporter: what's the ID?)  Ian, what do you think?

Clark: eek, that's a very old build. Could you upgrade to a more recent one
and see if it still occurs?
