From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20011019 Netscape6/6.2 Description of problem: see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=124306: With mozilla build ID 2002020221, Italic looks horrible (as does <em>stuff</em>) Not ALL italic looks horrible, but on the given URL for example, the text "this is why a reference always must be initialized" has the word 'always' stretched out and deformed with aweful spacing between the characters. In general this seems to happen for <em>, <i>, <address> etc (see also the Copyright notice at the bottom of that page). The font specified by the document is italic helvetica, mozilla resolve it to "-alias-helvetica-medium-i-normal--*-iso8859-1", which is an alias of font "-misc-kochi gothic-medium-i-normal--*-iso8859-1". But this font really looks horrible. It is a CJK font with wide space, and it is not italic at all. If there is any reason that this font must be kept, at least don't give it a alias name like helvetica. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install mozilla trunk build 2.load the specified URL 3. Actual Results: italic font looks horrible. Expected Results: A real italic font should be used. Additional info:
This bug should be fixed in 1.0-7 or higher. You need to upgrade ttfonts-ja to the latest version.
