Hey all,

After upgrading to Firefox 10.0.2, I've noticed that fonts on websites look SUBSTANTIALLY different.

Even Impact, a fairly normal font, looks larger and more squished than usual. This was NOT the case in version 7, which I used to have.

Here is a screenshot of Impact in 10.0.2: http://twitpic.com/8p7jrx/full

Try to disable hardware acceleration.

  • Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
