Text Rendering Problems in Firefox

4/8/2008

Looking at my previous blog post in firefox reveals something very strange. A certain portion of my post is nearly unreadable. In IE7 it looks perfectly fine, I have taken a comparison screenshot to illustrate the differences:

I've noticed similarly poor quality rendering of text on other sites, I wonder why this is? While I'm complaining about firefox I might as well complain about how the images are rendered. There is something about it that makes it feel like they are loaded very slowly, IE7 feels much more responsive and clean in general.

It looked fine to me in Firefox 3.0. Even in previous versions, I have not noticed any font rendering problems.
