Do you mean good by sharp? If yes, we can mark this bug as Fix committed and simply wait for Hardy to be released, I guess the Gutsy backport is simply a testing version, isn't it? -- [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Appears to be correct with my eyes. I have not confirmed that FF3 is being built correctly, re: the cairo issues linked to the bug. I guess I don't understand how a backport bug relates to Hardy bug? I thought that a bug in a backport would be a separate issue from a bug in Hardy? -- [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189720] Re: [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2)
I've noticed the issue with the backport and official mozilla upstream builds, so if it's working on Hardy it's likely been compiled differently somehow.. I'm not sure it's really important to fix the backport, just making sure it isn't this bad on Hardy. -- [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 189720] Re: [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2)
If you backport only firefox-3.0 and xulrunner-1.9 from hardy to gutsy, that's expected. You also need to backport cairo (1.5.8) and fontconfig as they contain the sub-pixel LCD filter. Without those two, xulrunner-1.9 will switch to internal cairo at build time, which is not patched and then ff3 will have no sharp font as you described. -- [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have this issue on Gutsy, it would be nice if someone using Hardy could verify whether this is not in fact a regression in Hardy's FF3. -- [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression since FF2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/189720 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
