Yes, and this assumes that Firefox would have also been rebuilt against bits from Nevada 127, and that sounds a little too early. Also, there were font rendering problems reported against Opera for Solaris 10/Nevada x86, and i am about 100% convinced that Opera Software did not get the chance yet to upgrade their downloadable builds to Nevada 127 and the corresponding freetype and fontconfig changes. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman Sun Microsystems, Inc. stefan.teleman at Sun.COM
