Comment 7 for bug 1086126

In the interests of being as clear as possible, the attachment "classification.png" shows screenshots of the two display types "FIT" and "UNFIT" for the file "ink_fire_test_manual_boxes.svg". "FIT" is when the boxes are drawn exactly around the intended text, "UNFIT" has the text extending beyond the boxes.

Here are my test results:

FIT
Windows XP , inkscape r11367(<devlibs 32)
Windows XP, inkscape r11679 (devlibs 36)
Ubuntu 10.04 X11 to cygwin X11, inkscape r11367
Ubuntu 10.04 X11 to cygwin X11, inkscape r9886 (0.48.3.1 Ubuntu package)
Ubuntu 10.04 X11 to cUbuntu 10.04 X11 , inkscape r9886 (0.48.3.1 Ubuntu package)
Ubuntu 10.04 X11 to cygwin X11, inkscape r11679
Ubuntu 10.04 X11 to Ubuntu 10.04 X11 , inkscape r11679

UNFIT
All platforms, Firefox 16
Windows XP, Opera 12.02
Windows 7 64bit, Internet Explorer 9
Windows XP Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 (distribution)

That is, the only version of inkscape that looks like the browsers is the one distribution. There may be a devlibs component to this, but that does not explain what I am seeing on Linux.
