Strangely, if I open a web link from the ‘About Ubuntu’ help page, the font is antialiased. Running ps -elf |grep firefox gave the following:

I am puzzled. -- firefox is not honoring /etc/fonts/local.conf settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
