Hi all,

I agree with John - I've got a Sun 24.1" LCD screen in work, and
there's a huge difference in the fonts in firefox 2 vs. firefox 3 - the
latter is basically unusable.

The application fonts in firefox 2 are much, much more crisp. In
firefox 3 for me, the anti-aliasing appears to be a lot more
blurry/muddy. Zooming in two both shows that there's significantly more
anti-aliasing being applied for firefox 3.

I'm running stock 2008.05, pkg image-updated to nv_90.  I'm running
compiz on an Nvidia NVS 280 graphics card (which needs the slightly
older nv driver)

I have full hinting enabled in appearance properties for GNOME. Both
applications are loaded with the same font settings.

 - the only think I can think of tweaking now, are the pixel order
options (which I'll try when I'm back in the office tomorrow)

My screenshots at:

It's more obvious when you zoom into the images above.

(and I can still see the difference in those screenshots here on my
iMac at home, which has a 17" LCD, running at 1440x900)

        cheers,
                        tim
