[Bug 255137] Re: no font hinting

[Lennart]

** Description changed:

- In ubuntu 8.04 firefox 3 uses its own font hinting. According to some
- firefox bug reports, this is because it isn't compiled with the option
- -enable-system-cairo. Why isn't it compiled that way? See this thread:
- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665486.
+ EDIT: It seems al I had to do was log out and log back in for the
+ changes to take effect in firefox :P.

  I'm using xubuntu without anti-aliasing but with hinting. Firefox
  doesn't anti-alias (like all other programs don't do) BUT it also
  doesn't hint, which makes fonts look very ugly.
