firefox font spacing problem on justify (gutsy)

[Steven Brown]

Binary package hint: firefox

I've noticed some strange font issues in firefox 2.0.0.6 on Gutsy.

The problems can be seen in the comments on my blog, here: http://www.stevenbrown.ca/blog/archives/202#comment-40447

If I use Firebug to toggle different settings, it doesn't seem to have the same problem when I disable the following CSS property:
  text-align: justify;

A screenshot with the problems highlighted is attached. It seems like the letter "f" is not getting enough space assigned to it, but only when the text is justified.

Here are the styles that affect the comment (copied from Firebug):

.commentlist p {style.css (line 531)
margin:10px 5px 10px 0pt;
}
.commentlist p {style.css (line 172)
font-weight:normal;
line-height:1.5em;
text-transform:none;
}

.commentlist li {style.css (line 525)
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
}
.commentlist li {style.css (line 162)
font-weight:bold;
}
.commentlist li, #commentform input, #commentform textarea {style.css (line 158)

Also, if you select (highlight) the affected text, it shifts the spacing and pushes the rest of the line of text temporarily correcting the selected area's spacing. It's odd, and difficult to explain. :)

Thanks for helping Ubuntu getting better ! It seems this bug is a duplicate of bug 37828, thus I'm marking it as such. Further discussion should be done in that bug from now on.
