fixed issue - thanks to this posting on reddit.com: http://reddit.com/info/6hfhn/comments/
"After changing the fonts around on Reddit with the (mostly broken) Firebug extension, I narrowed the problem down to Helvetica. According to "fc-match", helvetica was mapping to Nimbus Sans L, which is the default - and also looks awful. DejaVu sans, on the other hand, happens to look great. To map Helvetica to DejaVu sans instead of Nimbus, simply edit /etc/fonts/conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf (you'll need sudo) and replace all occurrences of Nimbus Sans L with DejaVu Sans in the XML. Restart Firefox and you'll be good to go." i did this, restarted the Dell desktop and i no longer have poor font rendering in Firefox 3. ** Attachment added: "font-fixed.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14640681/font-fixed.png -- firefox font changed to narrower, less readable font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220568 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
