    does anyone else have poor font quality in firefox 3.5?

    the old version was beautiful, the new one is great in every way apart from the fonts look like they used to on linux,- that weird half-baked font smoothing.

    any ideas?

    Kind regards

    In KDE I did, but not in GNOME.

    I don't have it because mozilla decides 64bit users don't need tracemonkey, one of the few things that makes it worth it.
