Description Martin Fernau 2005-12-06 11:09:36 UTC

just updated pango and gtk due to firefox-1.5.0 update. 
Pango comes now with version 1.10.1 and gtk+ is 2.8.8 
Some applications now have squeezed fonts [1] [2] 
 
I found out, that this depends on the actual font which should be rendered. 
Some fonts squeeze, other not. And if I use aliased fonts, there are no 
problems regardless of the font-type.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

2. open firefox and go to http://forums.gentoo.org  
  
Actual Results:  
fonts are squeezed like in my pictures  

Expected Results:

I've seen this as well, in firefox 1.5, as well as Gimp 2.2.
