Yes, but the problem with different antialiased fonts remains. Should we
file a new bug report or reopen this bug an rename it?

The bug as originally reported is fixed. That is, if you take the Beta
Desktop CD and boot with it, you will now get antialiased fonts with
firefox. I imagine if you installed from Knot-2, you might have to
change your font settings in firefox.

Unfortunately, no. I have a laptop and a desktop, on both the problem
persists.

Yes, epiphany and gnome-terminal have the same problems (albeit the
menus are OK.)

As I mentioned before, the problem isn't in Firefox, but in the
fonts used.

Maybe the way I boot GNOME is affecting the fonts, but I'm running a fresh
install and the fonts are anti-aliased.

I've got the same problem too. The menu fonts of firefox and openoffice are
different. It seems like hinting in fontconfig is disable for firefox and
openoffice.
If I disable hinting in fontconfig all my fonts look all the same.

I installed the edgy beta release, and the fonts in the menus and inside
of firefox are still fuzzy and the antialiasation is still different to
my remaining GNOME desktop.

Fonts aren't anti-aliased in other applications too. The problem is the
fonts themselves, more specifically the Lucida-family.

I forgot to check the obvious... This is a regresion in the default
installation settings of fontconfig-setup. In all previous versions,
bitmap files are *never* included by default, but in Edgy they are.
That is, if firefox finds bitmap fonts of the typefaces it wants, it
obviously will use them.
OK, I changed the fonts, now some are aliased and the rest is very
fuzzy.
My other applications have beautiful antialiasing, antialiased firefox
fonts in the menu and in the browser screen however are just fuzzy and
look different than the rest of the desktop.

Oskar, you still need to change the fonts from Times, Helvetica and
Courier to different ones. I changed them to Serif, Sans-Serif and
Monospace. (This is the reason behind my second comment above.)

I want to add that the menu bar fonts of firefox are fuzzy compared to
other gnome applications; look at the screenshot.
The solution by Pedro Alejandro López-Valencia doesn't work for me, the
fonts look the same, are not antialiased.

Another thing. For some reason, firefox is not using fontconfig's
libraries. If you read fontconfig's default configuration you'll see
that Serif, Sans and Monospace are mapped to Bistream Vera (btw, that
*should* be Deja Vu instead, Debian has already done the transition, I
think), Yet, firefox is
The problem with no antialiasing is due to a bug in firefox's default
configuration. In order to have antialiasing and hinting, these two
settings must be defined in the global rcfile (or hard coded at compile
time):
font.FreeType2.enable must be true (it is false now)
font.FreeType2.unhinted mus
this is a bug. fonts are really ugly and don't look the same compared to the
rest of the system at all.
in fact, not only those fonts look out of place in GNOME, they look out of
place compared the to menu bar of firefox itself (which is antialiased)!

In my opinion, it's a edgy bug!
As I tested Knot2 last week I was very shocked about the fonts in
firefox!! New user will think "Linux is so ugly" :-(
In dapper fonts look good, in edgy they are ugly. This is a bad step
backwards...

Fresh Knot-2 installation, same problem here. It also affects Epiphany
- though it isn't fixable in Epiphany directly - changing the font
settings make no difference.

Confirming this is a bug. This is a regression from Dapper. Fonts have
become much more unreadable.

OK, I see now that the fonts as setup by default are "Times",
"Helvetica", and "Courier," which apparently aren't antialiasable? Once
I changed the fonts in the firefox preferences to "serif", "sans-serif",
and "monospace", everything was peachy.
