You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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: Wishlist Status: Triaged -- 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 Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
