Select Debug->Viewer Demos->#0 basic styles Looking at 'Pseudo-Elements test', the second paragraph, the 'F' of 'First letter style is ..' appear about 2 cm to low. Its probably the <P id=letter>

-> style system

It's not 2cm too low: the style says "float: left" which means that the top of the letter should be aligned to the top of the first line. However I agree that it is still displayed a little bit too low, especially on Windows but this is covered in bug 23844. See my testcase there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 23844 ***

Verified dup of #23844

My mistake: given the screen snapshot sent by the reporter, this bug should nt have been closed as dup. Bug 23844 describes a problem where the alignment of the first letter isn't correct. This bug shows that the first letter has a wrong style. The screen snaphot can be found at: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=6785 Below are some comments about the present problem that Erik and myself wrongfully put in bug 23844: ------- Additional Comments From pierre@netscape.com 2000-03-22 05:50 ------- Erik, it looks like we do the measurement correctly but we display the letter using the default font and size. Weird... ------- Additional Comments From erik@netscape.com 2000-03-22 13:07 ------- Hi Pierre, thanks for looking into it. It sounds like a problem in the layout engine. I've noticed that Kipp kept a number of different fonts lying around, one "normal" one, one for small caps, etc. So maybe he's using the right font for measurement, and the wrong font for drawing? Re-assigning to Pierre for now. Please re-assign to somebody who knows that part of the layout engine (or currently owns it: SteveC?).

Reassigned to buster. CCd erik & myself.

Note: the same reporter filed another bug related to font metrics on Unix. See bug 32846.

redistributing bugs across future milestones, sorry for the spam

Erik: this looks like a [TEXT] bug. I knew if I left it lying around long enough, it's find it's way back to you :) If I've misunderstood what's going on here, please assign it back to me.

Mark it as M24 for now.

Is this caused by 27164?

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

I think this one is important. A lot of magazine use these kind of style in the beginning of the article. If we want to have a good CSS support, we should implement this one right. Mark this as P2 and moz1.0

erik resign. reassign all his bug to ftang for now.

shanjian- can you help this one ?

I could not see any font problem in recent build. The alignment problem is still there (21616). I will track that one.
