** Changed in: fontconfig (Ubuntu Jaunty)
We encoutered this bug just a few moments ago (Firefox 3.5.9 on karmic).
Before, we had played around with Gnome font settings and "systemsettings" (a
KDE system settings application; we wanted to give KDE applications the GTK+
style).
Some time later we realized that Firefox and Thunderbird (3.

This bug still isn't fixed (or was reintroduced) in Jaunty as of May 12,
2009 with Firefox from the original Ubuntu repositories. My install is

oh. please dont do that. besides from general security hazards, doing
this calls for troubles and usually does not help (except for cases
where you already ran them as root before!!); running this as root
creates files/caches as root in some system dir
Got it fixed after removing below folders:
.fontconfig
.fonts
and file
.fonts.conf
for some reason, my font cache was cribbing about obsolete cache so
tried this. Now it's working.
As of now I don't those folders again created, so some locally installed
fonts are missing. But that's fine.

I removed a lot of cruft in the upload series i made. no-bitmaps seems
an invalid victim of this effort.
so to workaround:
a) use good fonts ... you can achieve that by disallowing firefox to use the
websites fonts (e.g. in preferences dialog)
or
b) sudo ln -s /etc/conf.avail/70-subpixel* /etc
This sounds about right for me. I looked at the web pages which cause
the problem, and they are using Helvetica.

As we discussed on IRC, the patched fontconfig creates far more problems
than it solves.
Yes, fonts in Firefox 3.1 and Firefox 3.2 do look marginally better and
have antialiasing, but it comes at the expense of the system's overall
subpixel rendering appearance.

As mentioned in Bugzilla, this is not a problem in firefox. It is caused
by an Ubuntu specific rule in system fontconfig. Marking invalid for
firefox-3.1 and confirmed in fontconfig.
