User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/44.0.2391.0 Chrome/44.0.2391.0 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: On Firefox nightlies (Firefox/41.0) starting a few days ago, the font smoothing has become odd on my Ubuntu Linux machine. The problem started appearing in the 20150514 build. Screenshots are attached. 1. Start nightly (using old or fresh profile makes no difference) 2. navigate to: http://www.alexvking.com/12_inch_macbook_and_windows_10.html (or really, any web page with text) 3. view text and compare to pre-20150514 builds. Actual results: Fonts appear thinner and looks almost as if I am using too much subpixel hinting. Browser chrome is also affected. Expected results: Fonts should look like they did in build 20150513 and prior.

(In reply to Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] from comment #3) > Good - 41.0a1 (2015-05-13) > Bad - 41.0a1 (2015-05-14) fixed Looks like text is rendered with broken subpixel antialiasing.
WORKAROUND: Open the Dev Tool (Shift + F2), copy&paste this command, press enter and restart. pref set gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.fontlist.enabled false

I too hit this problem. I'm *not* a font snob, but the new fonts are bad enough that even I noticed and found them awful to read. Setting gfx.font_rendering.fontconfig.fontlist.enabled to false fixes it.

Summary: Font smoothing thinner, uglier in Linux Firefox/41.0 → font smoothing thinner when using fontconfig platform fontlist
> 2. navigate to: http://www.alexvking.com/12_inch_macbook_and_windows_10.html (or really, any web page with text) Note the "any web page with text". On my machine the change was highly evident pretty much everywhere. I'll attach a couple of screenshots from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_%28C%2B%2B_programming%29 which demonstrated it particularly well.
Looks like this may be a problem with picking up system lcdfilter fontconfig settings. That may be due to them being set when target="pattern" but only read with target="font". The outputs from "FC_DEBUG=1 fc-match -v" and "xrdb -query | grep Xft" would help confirm. Or see whether having this in ~/.fonts.conf helps: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <!-- Use lcddefault as default for LCD filter --> <match target="font"> <edit name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig>
This affects both system and webfonts.

Same fonts, different subpixel aliasing.

Having this snippet in my .fonts.conf *does* help.
Thanks. lcdfilter set in the "Match Pattern" confirms that lcddefault is being set for FcConfigSubstitute with FcMatchPattern, but the new code is reading this setting only through FcConfigSubstitute with FcMatchFont. Simply adding FcConfigSubstitute with FcMatchPattern to the start of PreparePattern() should resolve the problem. Perhaps that might be calling FcConfigSubstitute more often than necessary because the results would always be the same for all fonts in the gfxFontGroup. However, gfxFontCache may mean that PreparePattern() is not called too often. I don't know the performance impact. gfxFontCache is global and expiration is after about 3 minutes without use, while nsDeviceContext::mFontCache (for gfxFontGroups) is not shared between device contexts and is flushed when zooming, but otherwise pretty much never expires.
As suggested by Karl, add FcConfigSubstitute to PreparePattern.

From left to right, patched fontconfig fontlist code, gfxPangoFontGroup code, trunk fontconfig fontlist code. The patched rendering mimics the gfxPangoFontGroup code.
The tp5 numbers look similar to the numbers for current mozilla-inbound builds.
From the waterfall page in comment 17. From left to right, fontconfig fontlist code with fix, gfxPangoFontGroup code, trunk fontconfig fontlist code
