Restart and select the fonts from the font menu, which are quite at the top.<br /> Started from a console window, you see a listing of fonts, that firefox is processing.<br /> <br /> For me the antialiased look is arguebly as good as the XFT version. Have you tried the standard build with activated truetype lib?

in <firefox>/defaults/pref/unix.js

activate

pref(”font.FreeType2.enable”, true);

and

pref(”font.directory.truetype.1″, “/usr/share/fonts/ms”);

where you keep you truetype fonts. Restart and select the fonts from the font menu, which are quite at the top.

Sometimes if you use an old profile, firebird/firefox crashes in odd ways. Have you tried deleting your profile (after backing up important stuff, obviously)?

I tried that, because I knew the bugzilla people would ask. Problem exhibits itself with a cleanly created profile, too. I tried that, because I knew the bugzilla people would ask.

Why? Because every version since then runs horribly on my home computer. It takes forever to do anything, and sucks up all the resources (making WinAmp stutter and stop).
