[Bug 239951] [NEW] font size incorrect on some capital letters

[Mike McMurray]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When viewing some web pages the capital letters in some groups of text
are abnormally large. Other caps in the same groups of text are fine.
Seems to happen on random Capitals at any place in that word. Only
noticed on RC2 of FF3 in Ubuntu 8.04. Source for the page shows the
fonts are the same size.

Resizing text in the browser shows the text correctly at both smaller
and larger sizes. Switch back to default viewable size and problem shows
again.
