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 (3.0.4) did not use sub-pixel rendering, it seemed more like the normal font smoothing. Other GTK applications (like Nautilus) behaved like set in the font settings. Changing the settings and back to sub-pixel did not help, neither did restarting X.
We removed ~/.fonts.conf and ~/.fontconfig and after logging out and back in everything was back to normal. Hope this helps. (You may not want remove ~/.fonts as you could have some custom fonts in there). -- No subpixel smoothing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305394 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
