Do you mean good by sharp? If yes, we can mark this bug as Fix
committed and simply wait for Hardy to be released, I guess the Gutsy
backport is simply a testing version, isn't it?

Appears to be correct with my eyes. I have not confirmed that FF3 is
being built correctly, re: the cairo issues linked to the bug. I guess
I don't understand how a backport bug relates to Hardy bug? I thought
that a bug in a backport would be a separate issue from a bug in Hardy?

[Gutsy
I've noticed the issue with the backport and official mozilla upstream
builds, so if it's working on Hardy it's likely been compiled
differently somehow.. I'm not sure it's really important to fix the
backport, just making sure it isn't this bad on Hardy.

[Gutsy backport] Very poor font
If you backport only firefox-3.0 and xulrunner-1.9 from hardy to gutsy,
that's expected.
You also need to backport cairo (1.5.8) and fontconfig as they contain the
sub-pixel LCD filter.
Without those two, xulrunner-1.9 will switch to internal cairo at build time,
which is not patched and then
I also have this issue on Gutsy, it would be nice if someone using Hardy
could verify whether this is not in fact a regression in Hardy's FF3.
