94519 - Justified text in raster "MS Sans Serif" causes overlap

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Win32, defect)

Description

[Eugene Savitsky]

1. Load the page.
2. Looak at the articles - the date and the text are merged (is this a right
word for being on each other?), but should not.

I think it happens since the date is bold.

Seems font related, it only happens with "font-family : MS Sans Serif" and
only when "text-align: justify" and the line starts with bold text.

WORKSFORME.

Is this the same as 93519?

REOPEN, I still see overlapping text in the testcase using nightly build
2002-01-17-03 (trunk) on Windows 98 SE.

I also see this as before. 

Is this the same as bug 93519?

WFM Win XP trunk build 2002071708. Can someone affected re-test?

I believe it's some Mozilla font problem under Win 98. Now under XP I do not see
it. I'll try under Win 98 tomorrow.

Windows Me, English.

This bug is present.

Comment 12

[Eugene Savitsky]

So, it's a Win 9x problem.

->GFX:Win32 since platform-specific (perhaps font-specific)

[Gabriele Fava]

The bug occurs in Windows 9.x's with any raster font.
If you say that this bug doesn't occur with XP, please verify that MS Sans Serif
is in raster format also in that version (in Windows 9.x raster fonts has
extension .fon and MS Sans Serif is called sserif[e|f].fon).
The other settings necessary for the bug to take place are:
*){text-align: justify}
*)and any one of the properties font-style, font-weight set with a value
different from the default.

To notice that if you add {font-variant: small-caps} the bug doesn't take place
anymore.

I got the confirmation that on win2000 (and probably therefore also XP and NT)
MS Sans Serif is in raster format. Other checks are appreciated.
If it remains like that, the bug is a system problem.

Mats, is this still a problem?

Comment 20

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

I can't reproduce it on Windows XP with any of the few raster fonts
I could find on this system.  I no longer have a Windows 98 system.
If someone can verify it works on Win2000 with a trunk build
(using a raster font) we can mark it WORKSFORME.

WFM under Windows 2000 with various bitmap fonts.
