In Firefox 3.6, IE7 and Opera 10 on Windows, this HTML has an odd behavior:
<html><head></head>
<style>
span {
font-family: monospace; background-color: green;
}
span.b {
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
<body>
<span>Text</span><span class="b">Text</span><span>Text</span>
</body>
</html>
The bold span in the middle is shifted down by one pixel. That doesn't happen for other fonts.
Why is that? How can I fix it?
