Hi, I just recently updated from 3.6 and thankfully nothing seems to be broken (as most people have claimed with their updates) but I have this one small problem with some special text shown in certain webpages. Its not appearing as accurately as it formerly was in 3.6, like how a text emoticon has squirly lines but in FF12 its showing those lines straight instead of how they should be. I compared it with chrome with IE and seems like the latter is the only one thats still showing the text as it should. I think its related to the change in font or something? Because I did notice while IE9 was showing it the right way, those special text were a bit small than their usual size. Oh and its IE9 btw.

Anyway I just want to make my firefox 12 revert back to the way firefox 3.6 was, namely with the text. If its font related, whats the name of the font should I change back to? If its encoding related, then which one should I use? Or is it something else altogether?

~ Plz reply asap/Thanks in advance

hello bardon, the new firefox versions use hardware acceleration in order to render web content, this might have an influence in the appearance of some characters. please first try updating the graphics driver on your system and see if this is solving the issue. otherwise you can disable hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general & see if this is making a difference...

Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried disabling hardware acceleration but the moment I unchecked it everything started appearing a bit fuzzy. Not as crisp as it normally should. (unless the real effect happens after restarting FF)

Regardless I still don't see how my graphics driver would be the issue, because isn't IE9 technically using it as well? And it showed those special characters just fine other than making em appear a bit smaller.

Also I forgot to mention this, but atm its only happening when I'm viewing that particular page with FF. If I view another different site (like a forum) that has the same or at least similar sets of those special characters, they are showing up fine. If I copy/paste those texts from IE9 onto FF then again they would show up fine.

There's also some forum posts I did which involved me copy/pasting those special characters from that page (before updating to FF12), now when I look at those posts they haven't changed at all as that page has.

So the problem here is not being able to view those characters completely but rather why they would appear different especially on that page unlike when viewed from different sources/browsers.

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

UPDATE: Discovered its not just the special characters, but in a couple more sites the bold text is appearing slightly more bigger or fuzzier.

And strangely enough, this time its only with FF12 and neither with IE or chrome as they both show bold text on those places as normal.

Going to try to see what fontinfo tells me, but like I asked earlier: If the issue is with the font used, then which one should I switch to? And other than the hardware acceleration, what is the difference in how text is handled in FF3.6 and 12?

DOUBLE UPDATE: Earlier I said that those special characters were appearing normal on other places right? Along with the ones I copy/pasted? Well it turns out that even though that text is "appearing" differently on that one certain site, its still able to copy/paste it correctly when I do it on another place in firefox. So this means that its only that site alone which is not properly displaying right in FF and chrome. Or at least the font in which it is being displayed in and same applies for the sites where bold characters are appearing fuzzy as well.

Thoughts on this?
