User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:83.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/83.0
Steps to reproduce:
Upgraded Firefox from 82 to 83 version.
Actual results:
Fonts in browser became horrible. It looks jugged (blocky) like Clear Type is turned off but I checked it and it's turned on. Fonts in other browsers looks fine.
Expected results:
Fonts will look fine like it was before.

Two questions:
First, could you go to about:support, and attach the contents to this bug?
Second, If you go to about:config and find the setting gfx.e10s.font-list.shared, and set it to false and then restart the browser, does this change the behavior?

- Attached 2) "gfx.e10s.font-list.shared" is already at false.

Jonathan, any idea why ClearType might be getting disabled here? Is it a font issue?

Nothing stands out to me.
Avlasenko Vitaliy, if you set gfx.webrender.force-disabled
to true
and then restart Firefox, does that make any difference to the result?

Yes, fonts looks fine. Just like it was earlier in Firefox.

OK, it sounds like this is a case where webrender isn't picking up the same font rendering options as the non-WR path.

I really hope this thing will be fixed. Always liked Firefox for nice and smooth fonts...

Sorry, I haven't been able to reproduce this locally. Do you see the same problem on multiple computers?

Fonts in Firefox really should be fixed. Maybe on full hd screens it looks fine but on my old laptop with 1366x768 resolution fonts looks just horrible. All started when webrender was enabled in FIrefox.
