Hi,

I posted this over on OpenSolaris.org, but FWIW:

This has always bugged me for as long as I can remember, and I wonder if anyone knows why.

Firefox 3.6.8 in Ubuntu:

All headings and text are antialised, and page appears fine.

Now, compare with the same page in Firefox 3.6.12 on OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana:

http://www.davekoelmeyer.co.nz/docs/oi_147Firefox3612.png

Most text elements by comparison are pretty jagged, but the headings are particularly ugly.

Interestingly, this is the same page, but zoomed in two increments:

Note that main heading ("DATAZUUL") is now displaying with nicely antialiased edges.

All the above examples are on stock-standard installs of Firefox, with fonts settings left at defaults.

Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dave
