Not so fast… I would argue that Gecko's result is overly tight ! and thus not 
exactly perfect.

There is also one extra component at work here: the way glyphs are painted and 
hooked to the underlying pixelgrid (which also will depend on the resolution of 
the device used to view the test).

Here is an alternate test:

And no, WebKit is not 'bad'.

(and I have lots of respect for what WebKit does, I'm not that much enamoured 
with the way text is painted in Fx 4+, on OS X)
