78469 - Link Overlap

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 59915

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[D. Travis North]

In some pages (such as http://www.scenespot.org), it seems as though the text
overlaps some links.  It even seems to overlap the tables as well.  I havn't
observed it on all pages (for example, it's flawless on bugzilla).  Resizing the
window does decrease the amount of overlap, but even at 1280x1020, I still
cannot completely eliminate it.

are you using XFree86 4.0.x with truetype fonts?  Could you attach a screenshot
of what you see?

FYI (should've posted this with the screenshot):

I'm using Mozilla version 2001043014.
My machine:
Mandrake Linux (version 8.0)
XFree86 4.0.x
KDE desktop enviornment

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe I am in fact using true type fonts through
the xfont server (default configuration from Mandrake).  

About the site (it helps that I coded it):
The site calls for an Ariel font.  Other sites that I have seen with this
problem also call for specific fonts.

Yep.  It's the XFree 4.0.x  + truetype problem....
