|Nicolas has explained a few times on the mailing list: if we
"fix" the fonts
there will be less of an incentive to fix the
applications, and will take
considerably longer to be fixed.
So I guess all of the following bug fixes in the past explain why the Firefox
developers haven't been interested in font-stretch :+)
* Wed Jan 09 2008 Than Ngo <than(a)redhat.com> 2.4-3
- update to 1.0.7pre44
- fix #426245, removes two broken lines (two invalid glyph names)
* Fri Aug 10 2007 Than Ngo <than(a)redhat.com> - 2.4-1
- update to 1.0.7pre43, changed Roman glyphs in all fonts back
to original metrics. bz#243180, bz#138896, bz#140584
- cleanup BR, bz#227297
* Thu Feb 24 2005 Than Ngo <than(a)redhat.com> 2.2-7
- change descender/ascender in "NimbusMonL" #140584
* Fri Aug 29 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor(a)redhat.com> 2.1-5.0
- Add MediItal variant with fixed weight and some of the
missing baseline hints (for u,t)
* Wed Jul 9 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor(a)redhat.com> 2.1-3
- Add some obvious missing hints that were resulting in
very uneven baselines (#97271)
