Anyone notice font ugliness in firefox after the latest updates? A good example of the effects can be seen on slashdot. Its really quite severe. I think it is from fontconfig. The changelogs show:fontconfig (2.3.2-1.1ubuntu10) dapper; urgency=low * Correctly fix the (eg) firefox vs. (eg) evince font metrics problem: - New FC_ANY_METRICS property, boolean. - Revert change from 2.3.2-1.1ubuntu9 and instead: - Change URW Nimbus font aliases in fonts.conf.in into equivalent <match> directives so that we can add an additional test which disables them when the anymetrics property is true. -- Ian Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 19 Apr 2006 12:51:29 +0100 fontconfig (2.3.2-1.1ubuntu9) dapper; urgency=low * Until firefox and thunderbird can be tought to use it's own idea of font replacements: * Disable the usage of metric and shape compatible fonts for the 3 Adobe families. evince cannot display documents correctly with these replacements not beeing available, but web browsers not using these fonts look definitely nicer. -- Matthias Klose <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tue, 18 Apr 2006 16:12:54 +0000 I dont understand the change comments completely, but if its not urgent, it would be a good Idea to go back to what it was before.

I don't get it either. I filed a bug ( https://launchpad.net/bugs/40210 ) on it a few days ago, but it was reverted, so I closed it, and now it's introduced again.
