            Bug ID: 312197
           Summary: Increasing font size causes horizontal spacing errors
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: akregator
           Version: 4.9.4
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: internal browser
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: gjditchfield at acm.org

When I view comp.risks articles with a font size that I have increased from the
default, for instance by typing Ctrl++, horizontal spacing between some
characters is incorrect. Characters may overlap or have excessive space between
them. The spacing errors often occur at transitions between alphabetic and
non-alphabetic characters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a feed for URL
http://rss.gmane.org/messages/excerpts/gmane.comp.security.risks.
2. Visit the article titled "Risks Digest 27.12". (Similar errors occur in
other articles.)
3. Note that the spacing around the URL in the text "This issue is archived at
<http://www.risks.org> ..." near the top of the article is correct.
4. Scroll roughly half-way down to the subsection "Subject: 3D-Printing Firm
Makerbot Cracks Down On Printable Guns'. Note that the spacing of the many
occurences of "3D" in the section is correct.
5. Enlarge the font size one step by typing Ctrl++.
6. Scroll back to the top. The spacing around the "<" and ">" characters that
surround the URL in "This issue is archived ..." is now incorrect.
7. Scroll back down to the section on 3D printing. Varying amounts of
horizontal space now appear between some of the "3" and "D" characters.
Actual Results:  
Described above.

Expected Results:  
Horizontal spacing should not change.

I will try to attach my akregatorrc and before-and-after screenshots.
