Text sizes calculated incorrectly, this causes wrong page rendering. Text may
overlaps with region next to it. I attached small fragment of screenshot, taken
from freshmeat, to demonstrate it.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://freshmeat.net



Actual Results:  Text displayed overlapped with next region.

Expected Results:  Text displayed correctly in its boundaries.

Observed with XFree86 4.1.0 (RawHide rpm)
Not happens with XFree86 4.0.3

Not seeing this on 2001061908 for mac OS 9. Linux only bug?

I don't see this on win32 or linux builds from 6/20

Build 2001062021,
bug is still there.
I suppose one should have XFree 4.1.0 on Linux to reproduce it.
May be it deals with some font metrics.
I have XFree86 4.1.0 rpm from RawHide.

I tested the same build, 2001062121, with XFree86 4.1.0 and 4.0.3. Mozilla runs
on the same host, just DISPLAY was set differently. The bug appears on XFree86
4.1.0 and not appears on 4.0.3.

This looks like a dupe of bug 63831
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63831
If so, try in your preferences, in the font section uncheck "allow documents to
use other fonts"
If the problem goes away, try a nightly build since 10 July 2001. It has been fixed.
