Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
In LibreOffice and Gedit, I'm able to type using fixed-width Japanese
fonts (IPA/Takao Mincho/Gothic, without P) such that two half-width
characters will line up to a full-width character. That means, if I type
32 full-width letters on one line and 64 half-width letters on the next
line, they will be the same length horizontally.
But in Firefox, this seems to be broken. Please see the attached
screenshot for clarification. Sorry if it's too big; I have my DPI set
to 168. Also, I have hinting disabled.
I've tested typing in qtconfig-qt4, and it also works fine. Maybe only
Firefox is affected? This could have something to do with the fact that
Firefox doesn't respect Xft/GNOME DPI settings, which suggests it
probably renders in a different way.
Also attached is a test HTML file used to produce the screenshot for
Firefox.
