** Description changed: The 3 screenshots are all of the same conversation in my gmail inbox. One screenshot was taken running Firefox Nightly on a Focal Ubuntu install, where the font rendering seems fine. The other two screenshots - were taken running Firefox Nightly on a Focal Kubuntu install. + were taken running Firefox Nightly on a Focal Kubuntu install where the + rendering is funky. - Even on Kubuntu, the font spacing on my gmail inbox looks right on - Chromium (Version 83.0.4103.61 Official Build snap 64-bit), but is funky - (extra spaces within words) on Firefox Nightly, thus this was first - reported as http://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/53474 + This only happens on Kubuntu, eg running kubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop- + amd64.iso live. Lubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64.iso live is fine, no + funky font rendering. - In Firefox Nightly on Kubuntu, the font placement/spacing often shifts - around, sometimes spuriously, and sometimes when interacting, for - example when i tick or untick the conversation as in the the 2nd and 3rd - screenshots. Note how all the "t"'s move over in "Opportunities", - "Youth", "item", and "interest". + Even on Kubuntu, when using Chromium (Version 83.0.4103.61 Official Build snap 64-bit), the font spacing on my gmail inbox looks fine, thus i first reported this as + http://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/53474 + But they conclude it's not a Firefox issue. + + The funky font rendering only happens with the combination of Kubuntu + (with all package updates as of 9/20) with either Firefox or Firefox + Nightly eg version 94.0a1 (2021-09-24) (64-bit).
