           Summary: When CSS property "ruby-align: center" is set, glyphs
                    in a ruby base should be right next to each other
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: CSS
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: waynerj at shaw.ca


Overview:
When the CSS property "ruby-align: center" is set, glyphs in the base of a ruby element should be right next to each other, without any space between them. Currently, this is being rendered properly with *some* ruby elements, but not with others.

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to http://www.chinesetools.net/ruby/Mandarin-Expressions.html

Actual Results:
There is space between some of the Chinese characters in the bases of the ruby expressions, even though there are no spaces between those Chinese characters in the source code. E.g., in the expression "help | bāngzhù | 幫助", there is a space between "幫" and "助", even though there is no space between them in the source code.

Expected Results:
There should be no space between the Chinese characters in the bases of the ruby expressions when there are no spaces between those Chinese characters in the source code. E.g., in the expression "help | bāngzhù | 幫助", there should be no space between "幫" and "助", since there is no space between them in the source code.

Note that at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-ruby/#rubyalign, the illustrations for "ruby-align: center" depict the glyphs in the bases of the ruby elements being directly adjacent to one another with no space between them beyond what normal font rendering requires.

Build & Platform:
Version 5.1.2 (6534.52.7, r103700) on Intel Mac OS X 10.6.8
