Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
Hello, with the fonts that are currently used by default in Firefox to render websites (I guess DejaVu), the layout on some sites is a bit distorted, you can see this in the screenshots below (taken on a fresh Jaunty installation). The cause for this seems to be that these fonts are a bit bigger than the default Microsoft fonts (Arial, Times New Roman, ...), on whose size some web layouter obviously rely. A possible workaround would be to use the Liberation Fonts for Firefox which are metric compatible with the Microsoft ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts I am doing this on my machine for some time now by selecting them manually in "Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Fonts & Colors -> Extended...", they look very good. The Liberations Fonts package seems to be in Main now (ttf-liberation). Kind regards, Jan ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Use liberation fonts in firefox by default for better website layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341024 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
