Unfortunately not quite, thats why I'm reopening this bug. I upraded to 2.2.1-2 and I still have some issues. Please see the linked image [1]. I tried to mark some of the problems: 1.) The two menus of firefox and thunderbird are rendered differently 2.) IANA, 17: Some letters and numbers are too thick. The text in the browser windows looks inhomogeneous. 3.) 'ö' and 'o' (see Jörg/Politiker) have different widths. 4.) The german umlaut 'ö' (see Größe) is missing the upper right dot.
