54663 - Font of replacement glyphs changes when hovering over link...

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 53469

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

I could only get this to fail on my Linux build (Comm Branch 2000092810).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
   1. Go to http://www.bath.ac.uk/%7Epy8ieh/internet/eviltests/content/2.html
   2. Hover over the link at the top
   3. Watch the quotes in the second paragraph (which reads: The next paragraph 
      should use some neat quotes, namely """ and """ on the outside and "'" 
      and "'" on the inside)

ACTUAL RESULTS:
   The quotes (which are probably not in your font) dance around!!! It's like
   we cycle through available fonts or something... :-/

EXPECTED RESULTS:
   :hover should *so* not be changing the page layout!!!

Other bugs on that page (most notably the "it gets bigger whenever you move your
mouse" bug) are filed separately.

It would be interesting to see if the problem still happens with 
user_pref("nglayout.events.showHierarchicalHover", false);

Verified dupe. I still see it with hierarchal hover off on Linux build 2000092821.
