OK, here you go.

The same script I submitted in this bug.

"screenshot1.png" shows the bugged display. Here's the result of 
"describe-text-properties",

In a separate fresh new emacs window, I execute the following command:

    (set-face-attribute 'default nil :weight 'medium :slant 'italic 
:height 125)

"screenshot2.png" shows how it looks this time (the normal display).

the result of "describe-text-properties":

If you want more information, I will keep both emacs window open for the 
next two hours.
