[Bug 1883742] Re: funky font rendering on kubuntu

[gregrwm]

** Summary changed:

- funky font rendering on kubuntu and lubuntu
+ funky font rendering on kubuntu

** Description changed:

  The 3 screenshots are all of the same conversation in my gmail inbox.
  One screenshot was taken running Firefox Nightly on a Focal Ubuntu
  install, where the font rendering seems fine.  The other two screenshots
  were taken running Firefox Nightly on a Focal Kubuntu install.
  
  Even on Kubuntu, the font spacing on my gmail inbox looks right on
  Chromium (Version 83.0.4103.61 Official Build snap 64-bit), but is funky
  (extra spaces within words) on Firefox Nightly, thus this was first
  reported as http://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/53474
  
- In Firefox Nightly on Kubuntu or Lubuntu, the font placement/spacing
- often shifts around, sometimes spuriously, and sometimes when
- interacting, for example when i tick or untick the conversation as in
- the the 2nd and 3rd screenshots.  Note how all the "t"'s move over in
- "Opportunities", "Youth", "item", and "interest".
