Slight rendering problem with 4.4-beta1 ...

[Jean-Francois Doyon]

G'day,

I didn't get any reaction from this post, so I guess I'm alone ? :P

I've run into this a few more times already ... I'l go look at the data when
I have a minute, but in the mean time, what versions of GD and FreeType am I
supposed to use for 4.4?

As mentionned I'm using gd 2.0.28 with FreeType 2.1.4 ... Could that be the
cause? A simple versionning mismatch?

One thought I had was that it must be strings with spaces (i.e. seperate
words), but that doesn't seem to be it, since there are many that DO work.
Also doesn't seem to be related to wrapping, since in 3.6.6 at least these
are strings that don't wrap.

If I don't hear anything to the contrary, I'll keep playing with this, and
if no solution comes apparent, I'll file it as a bug in bugzilla ...

Thanks,
J.F.
