I have this problem too, and I'm using Hardy Alpha 2. It happens both in the preinstalled and official version of Firefox. I haven't tried Epiphany, but since it's based on Gecko (just like Firefox), this could very well be a Gecko bug.
If I change the default fonts in Firefox to the DejaVu fonts this problem goes away. It seems that Firefox uses the Nimbus fonts by default because if I select them I get the ugly look again. -- Fonts got ugly after upgrade gutsy->hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176551 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
