Sorry for the generic title on this defect report!

On this Windows Vista machine, the descenders appear correctly at 18, 22 and
27px. Might be useful to someone until the issue gets fixed.

To extend the issue here a bit, going with the generic title, the bold variant
doesn't render in Firefox 3.6.4. Instead, the bold variant simply renders as
the regular variant.

It seems the Descent value encoded into the DroidSans.ttf file (420) is too
small, the letter 'g' might need a value around 500. Using ttx from the Debian
fonttools package, i adjusted "hhea/descent value" and "OS_2/usWinDescent
value" accordingly.
The resulting ttf/eot files shouldn't show the reported effect for letters g,
y, and j anymore (see DroidSans-500.zip).
[The em-size (Ascent+Descent) now is 2162 (before: 2082). Somewhere it is said,
it should be a power of two, e.g. 2048 or 4096. Not knowing the TrueType format
well, i suppose a bit more has to be done than just increasing the descent
value to get it right, but the resulting eot file seems to work anyway.]

@mt4swm, thanks a lot, it worked!
Any workaround for DroidSans-Bold.ttf also?
Once again, thanks mate! :)

I attached a new zip file where the workaround has been applied to some more
variants (sans-bold and serif-*).

This should be fixed as of the most recent commit. Thanks to Josh Hadley for
providing fixed font files!
One thing to be aware of is that the changes may add extra line space to the
layout of existing designs that use the font.

Hi guys, I seem to have come across the issue of the descenders on the Droid
Serif variants being cut off in most browsers on windows, I obtained the font
kit from fontsquirrel. I happened upon this old thread via a google search. The
last zip in the thread contains fonts that are labelled as serif but aren't
actually serif in the previews. I was wondering if anyone had the correct font
files that contain the fix you guys spoke about?

You can download the font direct from Google here:

(check the boxes, use the little down-arrow icon)
I imagine this is the latest, fixed version, but didn't verify.
