I'm pretty sure that's not mozilla. Don't know what's causing the bleeding. Why are you "pretty sure?" Other people have had this problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/eug-lug@efn.org/msg14615.html You didn't set the mimetypes correctly to that of an image file when attaching the files. Fixing... Ack! The files are gzipped TIF files.. Please make new screenshots in PNG format, and attach them as ready-to-view in a browser. Thanks. Created attachment 94207 [details]

What you are seeing is subpixel font rendering. Disable it in the font-properties dialog config tool. Note that if you are using a flat panel, and not using GNOME, this might be bug 88259. Indeed it is. The solution suggested in comment 37 of bug 88259 worked. Thanks for the pointer! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 88259 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
