Worksforme, build 2001-07-18-22 on solaris.  Attaching screenshot.

You _are_ accounting for the fact that bold characters are wider than normal
ones?
bold text should not be cropped the same as normal text. it's wider, and thus 
can't fix as much in the same area.

Summary: Bold text cropped to much. → Bold text cropped too much.
That looks like it may be a font metrics problem.... what font are you using? 
Or is this happening with all fonts?
Aha! You're onto something! It only fails when the bold font is synthesized.
It works perfectly for "separate" bold fonts (e.g. "Arial Bold").
jag, can you take a look at this?

It was fixed, but since I only have a vague idea what fixed it (someone fixed
some gtk font metrics code recently), I'm marking this WFM.

When was this fixed? I only have build 2001080904 which doesn't work.
Jag, doood! This is a win95 bug, not a gtk thing :-]

It sounds like this bug and bug 52596 share the same underlying problem.
Reassigning this bug to mjudge. Mike, feel free to hand it to someone else if
this isn't the same as bug 52596.

yes i think this does have something to do with the other bug. must be some kind 
of measurement glitch and not invalidating enough of the screen. I am marking 
this one as a dup

Ah, the problem is that you're allowing too much space for bold text.
