Fonts in Firefox 3.6.13 and Firefox 4.0b10
 

I was playing around with the latest beta of firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in 4.0b10 don't look as smooth as the fonts in 3.6.13. I've got all of the font changes from dugan and daedra, so I'm not sure why 4.0b10 renders fonts differently. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Are you using the source compiled version of firefox? Like the one from 64bit Slackware or are you using a precompiled binary like the one from 32bit slackware?

Sorry, I should have specified that I'm using the 4.0b10 64-bit package from /testing in slackware-current (no multilib). From looking at Pat V.'s source directory, it looks like this is a compile from source and not a repackaging of Mozilla's packages.

hhmmm, I haven't tried any of the 4.0 beta builds of firefox, but I was thinking it was a static firefox/cairo problem. Guess not :). I will install 4.0 beta when I get home. I am curious to see if I will have the same issue.
