I get font rendering weirdness with
http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_aviation/ (sometimes the
fonts look "lighter" and selecting some text seems to "fix" the
selected parts, as does hitting reload).

Since I upgraded to Tiger, Camino has had serious trouble with fonts.
(Nothing else seems to, and the trouble is limited only to certain
fonts.) I've verified that these problems exist in Camino 0.8.3 (which
worked fine on 10.3.9), 0.8.4 (which I upgraded to pretty much
simultaneously with Tiger), and Firefox, but do not exist in Safari.
It's got something to do with character widths: on some pages (ie, New
York Times articles), if I highlight text, the highlighting doesn't go
to the end of each line. On other pages, characters overlap in
rendered text. I get this problem in lots of places, but it's easy to
see in the results from a Google search. In still other places (for
example, text entry sections on forms in WordPress, particularly the
article composition form on my site at www.twoideas.org), characters
will overlap and the cursor will be placed in the middle of the line,
making stuff very difficult to read (or write!).
I'm happy to help do any sort of non-destructive debugging in order to
track this down. As far as I know, I've got all of the 'right' fonts
installed, but even in a font-substitution situation there's no good
reason to have this rendering difficulty. I'm sure that the problem
might be system-specific, based on the vagaries of my installation,
but I'd love help resolving them if the problem is on my end rather
than with Gecko.
Thanks in advance,
Jon Lasser
