Created attachment 1059356 [details] poor font rendering in firefox Fonts are specially broken in GTK apps.
There is a new hinting engine in freetype since 2.4.12. It was turned by default in 2.5.0. I can not change it. (In reply to Sudhir Khanger from comment #1) > Fonts are specially broken in GTK apps. This looks like a problem of the specific font. If you could find which font is shown on the screen it would help us and we could file a bug against the specific font.
It's been so long I won't be able to provide any info. Thanks for commenting.
