I've got an intereseting one, where after reading fonts in from Windows,
Galeon has serious issues with font spacing. I.e., the words will run
outside surrounding table borders and such. One site this is very
noticeable on is LinuxToday - http://www.linuxtoday.com/
Anyone seen this?
I tried rm -rf'ing .galeon to see if it was a deuglication procedure that
caused this, but apparently not. The WM I'm using is Windowmaker, btw.
And, a second machine I have has none of these problems with Galeon (which
displays fonts the best out of all the browsers I've tried on the system)
