Would be nice if you tell us your mozilla version and the used fonts.
Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-24 20:32:10 UTC 
moritz?
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-30 14:32:38 UTC 
Seems to work fine here with moz-1.3-r1.  Guess it could be a font setup problem
if he have the same version.
Comment 4 Patrick Kursawe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-31 00:42:28 UTC 
He did not react now for nearly two weeks. I set this to NEEDINFO.

So, this is Moz 1.3 as you can see. ( right window )

how did i creat this?
#1 # mozilla &
#2 open up http://inselkampf.de/forum/ ( middle window )
#3 <crtl-n> and open http://www.inselkampf.de/forum/ ( left window )

I'm sorry, this took so long. But i was not a home. And didn't have a chance to
check my mail.

So i hope this does illustrate the problem i have pretty well ;)
( this did even occure on slashdot once/twice... )

reg.
