552937 - Rotated text is unreadable when GDI++ is running and active

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[rjp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

With the gditray application running and GDI++ enabled, rotated fonts (ie in SVG) are garbled. Clicking on the text sometimes clears up the cruft to reveal mildly garbled but readable text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gditray and enable GDI++
2. Run Mozilla
3. Load an SVG with rotated text
Actual Results:  
Garbled text strings

Expected Results:  
Non-garbled text strings

On the same SVG, Opera 9.10 doesn't suffer from the font-garbling with GDI++ turned on.  (Chrome 4.0.249.89 also doesn't but appears to be bypassing the GDI++ rendering layer so is probably a red herring.)

Screenshots are attached.
