Howdy, Been using both Galeon and Mozilla as my primary web browser on FreeBSD for a while now. The primary reason for this has to do with the fact that it has been really good at rendering True Type Fonts in a manner that's very similar to Windows. Big time critical for a web developer to have a reasonable idea as to how things are going to look on Windows, regardless of what other OS's get involved. Just last night Mozilla 0.9.5 hit the FreeBSD ports tree. Galeon also got updated to the latest support for this milestone as well. On both of these browsers the font rendering, to put it bluntly, completely went to crap. Smaller fonts went to two sizes too small. No, just magnifying things doesn't fix the matter as that doesn't correctly show the proportions between the different font sizes. The site this effected for me directly was...
http://www.testequity.com/ For you folks on Unix style OS's, this page still renders perfectly on Netscape 4.78. So as to verify this is something new I went and yanked 0.9.5 off my system and installed 0.9.4 from the package. 0.9.4 still renders this site's fonts perfectly. For another more main stream example, note the difference between the front page of Google on 0.9.5 and pretty much any other browser. http://www.google.com/ Mind you, I'm running xfstt on this system for true type support. Up until this latest milestone it had been getting along with Mozilla beautifully. So, before I go running off to bugzilla, just what in the heck happened here between milestones?? Did style sheets get overhauled or something? As stated, on this box here 0.9.5 is just about useless to me at this point. Have the nightlies fixed this glitch? As it is, if the glitch still exists I'd rather not spend 3 hours recompiling a nightly that's still broken, as there aren't any FreeBSD nightly packages tossed up on the Mozilla servers. Later on,
