First pixel column on capital "W" character does not change to rollover state
colour.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page
2. rollover WJWhite link
Actual Results:
If you look at the last entry in the right-hand column "WJWhite" and rollover it
Expected Results:
Changed the first pixel column to the rollover colour
Reproducible in Firefox1.0PR on Win2k.
Suspect that problem is related to the uppercase 'W' of this font having a
negative 'A' (as in ABC) width - the bit that sticks out of the left-hand side
of the glyph box is not being coloured correctly. You can see that the problem
pixels are one pixel to the left of the previous rows.
Hmm... *cannot* duplicate on my home WinXP box. Not in Firefox1.0PR, not in Moz
1.6. (Not in Opera or IE either.) However, this box does have several
peculiarities (144dpi display and "Minimum font size" prefs in Moz//FF) which
may be muddying the waters; I'll try some other browsers on my normal-dpi Win2k
machine tomorrow.
This does look awfully like a Windows GDI glitch to me, though. I'd be surprised
(not stunned, but surprised) if Gecko is colouring text at the pixel level.

I can't duplicate this behavior on my box either. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Definitely appears to be Windows-only.

This bug is likely Windows Only.

This screenshot show the the W is incorrectly postioned. It far left pixals are
rendered outside of the content frame.
In IE, the W is also incorrectly postioned, allthough it is croped. This
indicates that it is a Win GDI Problem.

On Windows XP if "ClearType" is used to render screen fonts this bug does not
apply, however if "Standard" is used, it does apply.
