Bug#233948: underline not rendered in mozilla when using freetype renderer; underline rendered when using xtt
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-2
This problem appears to be the same as reported here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports-bugs/2003-July/009690.html
>Description:
XFree86 4.3.0 failed to render underline text if the text rendered
using True Type font (freetype/xtt backend).
>How-To-Repeat:
Open mozilla / firebird , set the font to any ttf, surf
anywhere. Notice that the links dont have underline, although
we explicitly set 'Underline links' in mozilla/firebird
preferences.
I made the change recommended in the report above to Debian's 4.3.0,
built it, copied the freetype module over the installed 4.3.0-2's
copy, and it fixes the problem. (This is not as good a test as it
could be, I know. The build failed later on for reasons I have yet to
determine, so I wasn't able to install a full X with this change
present throughout.)
