Description of problem:

firefox from fedora and latest nightly (59.0a1) misrenders the square brackets
in the math display here: http://www.shlomifish.org/MathVentures/dodeca.html .
Tested both in a new firefox profile - it happens there too. It doesn't happen
on my mageia 7 x86-64 system. I am using Xfce here.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora 27 x86-64.

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL.
2. Scroll down to the formulae with the square brackets.
3.

Actual results:

The square brackets are not high enough.

Expected results:

They should be the right height.

This is not a bug in freetype. I'm reassigning it to firefox.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
