[Tahoma font/kerning] has issues when displaying letter combination "fi" & "fli" (Regression in RICHED20)

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • 62,982

    Description

      affected ros r72892,r72896, and older (at least since a year)

      I can reproduce this with Wordpad, which uses RichEd20.dll
      Tahoma font size 12
      words: certi*fi*cate, *fi*refox, Of*fli*ne
      see ros-r72892-TahomaIssue-firefoxZertifikate.png

      The issue is gone when replacing our Tahoma font with the MS-versions.
      The issue is also fixed when using RichEd20.dll from WinXPSP3 v5.30.23.1230
      The symptom started to show with commit r62982 (Winesync Riched20)
      -------
      The same words show the same visual glitches in Firefox28, this case is handled in subticket.
