[Bug: 21.5-b22] Display of italic characters

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I use the latest version of XEmacs together with Gnus to read Usenet messages. Gnus shows some header values using an italic font. At this point, it stroke me that the left side of the upper half of some characters seemed to be cut. To make things clearer, I extracted a screenshot showing the odd drawing of characters. I further noticed that I can use the cursor to "visit" each character, which will also cause this type of cutting. This is documented by the second screenshot. This behaviour is not specific to Gnus, I also found this for example in the customization buffer for faces. Regards, Franz Häuslschmid. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- OS version: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.5-b22 "cucumber" (+CVS-20050926) configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
