[h-e-w] Italic font + font-lock coloring results in glyph truncation for Emacs on Windows.

[Tanveer Gani]

I've seen this bug persistently in many versions of GNU Emacs. It
manifests itself as glyph truncation on the right edge when an italic
font is used and font-lock mode is turned on. Only colored glyphs are
truncated and often it's only for glyphs for the letter 'd'. Turning
off font-lock coloring or using a non-italic font removes this
problem. Please note that several "official" fonts like Lucida Console
Italic, Lucida Sans Typewriter Italic and Microsoft's Consolas Italic
all have this problem so it's not font-specific.

Thanks for your attention.

Regards,

Tanveer.
