Re: [Bug: 21.5-b22] Display of italic characters

Good thing you included the PNGs! :-) X fonts don't specify italic corrections, and these italic fonts are writing outside of their nominal bounding boxes. Not much we can do about that in the context of the current redisplay engine, I'm afraid. As a workaround, I suggest that you try a different font, even the "same" family from a different foundry. If the bounding box is defined to allow the _left_ side to project out of the box rather than the _right_ side, there should be no clipping of this kind because the text is always drawn left to right. Except perhaps at the very left edge of the window, and XEmacs provides a way to leave extra space there.
