Public bug reported:
The attached sample, firefoxfreefont.html, contains a text paragraph with the
four letters a/ŭ/a/ŭ and some spacing. The first pair of letters has no
spacing, so the letters should appear next to each other. Firefox puts them on
the same place. The second pair has two non-breakable spaces between them, and
Firefox displays them with a roughly normal distance.
I would like to post a screen picture but cannot find a way to submit a second
attachment. I will post it afterwards. If anybody cares I can also post the
FreeSans.ttf file (from /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont).
Of course this could be a buf in the FreeSans font but neither Opera nor
Konqueror exhibit the problem.
