Details

Mozilla (Linux-alpha built from CVS 9 May 1999) renders this sentence with too much space after the apostrophe: It’s no coincidence that every visit to the upscale Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., seems to get better than the last for EJ Farrell. I've put the snippet in a test page, and put it up on the above URL. It was created from a fragment of http://abcnews.go.com/sections/travel/Crabby/records.html Presumably, mozilla thinks that it is an opening or closing quote, so is making space for that.

For some reason that glyph measures out (and renders out) very very wide...It could be that we are switching fonts for it when we shouldn't be.
Same underlying problem as 4760. Well understood. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 4760 ***
