thanks
Now browsing it, http://www.netgram.com/default.asp again, I can't
reproduce it. Sometimes the same thing happens on Facebook, lots of
ASCII missing a chunk here and there. I recall screenshots never work,
as GIMP doesn't see the problem. One must use a digital camera. Happens
every few days. I am a font and hardware dummy. However, I can execute
any shell command to list whatever is needed to be known.

DKG> Are you sure this isn't the same problem reported as #612464 ?

Must be! However the t was missing its bar... but horizontal just like
you said.

DKG>  0) a screenshot

Ah, I see you were successful. OK, I'll try that next time.

DKG>  1) a listing of the relevant graphics hardware of the machine

DKG>  2) can you try this with other tools that render the same fonts?  That
DKG> is, are you sure this is an iceweasel issue itself?

I never learned all about fonts so don't know.
