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.
