Bug Description

Bug description:
--------------------------------------------------
A part of yahoo main page displays incorrectly, the snapshots are attached.
This is not a midbrowser specifically issue, firefox in linux also has such issue, so the snapshot is captured using firefox on my develop machine, but firefox on windows does not have such issue.
Not sure if this could be resloved by communicating with firefox developers. Report a bug here firstly.

Carl, I may need to reopen the bug because I just tried and the page is still wrong. I know it's not your fault, but we just need to keep the bug here for better track. Could you pls. bother to ask yahoo again about this issue? thanks.

Fan,

I have send email to Yahoo about this. But I haven't heard from them. This is not really a bug in the browser. Any site that uses non standard html, the page will not get render correctly. I have no control over this. If you still think we need to keep this in the bug base, please raise the issue in the bug scrub meeting. Otherwise, please close this.

The reason www.yahoo.com has rendering issue with the "More" button appear on the second line is because we don't have the gsfonts package installed. Can you add this runtime dependency to the latest midbrowser's debian control file?

Thanks,
Carl

Sure, let me know if you want this fixed in intrepid or also in the
stable releases (hardy?)?
