Description Aaron Williams 2004-11-14 01:13:53 UTC
Version:           3.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.1, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-7.111-athlon-preempt

When I scale the font size up on some web sites to make the text easier to read at a distance, the letters all run together.

This can be seen at http://www.liquidnails.com/faq.html, for example.  Just increase the font size several times and the letters start running together.  Mozilla 1.7 does not suffer from this problem.

upscaling looks fine, downscaling shows the described behaviour.
testcase:
http://www.liquidnails.com/ViewSiteMap.do

there is a scaling issue, confirming.

The page is available via the Web Archive at: http://web.archive.org/web/20040608014824/http://www.liquidnails.com/faq.html (last updated version). On KDE 4.0.3/Kubuntu this behaves as expected. J Appels testcase at http://www.liquidnails.com/ViewSiteMap.do works fine too.

What is current situationon 3.5.9?

Screenshot on konqueror 3.5.9

Konqueror 3.5.9 overlapps the text only when the text is made smaller than the
standard, not larger. I could make the text even smaller than in the
screenshot, and overlap more.
Comment 6 Samuel Brack 2011-01-07 13:27:36 UTC
That seems to be fixed in 4.5.4 and therefore is closed.
