Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

I suspect this bug is definitely related to bug 37828 and is filed here to track the issue. Please mark as wontfix/upstream.

Thunderbird renders justified text with ligatures wrongly. Attached is a test case.

I.e. "fix" will have letters drawn on top of each other, "off on" will appear as "offon".

Release: 8.04

Marking as a duplicate of bug #37828 for now. If it turns out this gets
fixed in Firefox only it needs to be removed as a duplicate and should
be re filed. Upstream should fix this in xul/gecko branch so it should
affect both.
