This is really an issue since FF3's webpage and UI fonts are much worse
than in FF2. In Gutsy, Cairo adopted tweaks for LCD screens (at least)
that were really nice. In FF3 backport fonts look terrible. See the
links above for an explanation of issues and solutions.
I can't tell whether this is the same in Hardy; if not, this is less of
a problem, but in the other case it should really be fixed.
** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- Font's blury
+ [Gutsy backport] Very poor font rendering due to Cairo issues (ragression
since FF2)
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
- Older Cairo in Gutsty might be causing Gutsy backports
+ Older Cairo in Gutsy might be causing Gutsy backports
version(3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~gutsy1) to have badly
rendered fonts.
