Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:123.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/123.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • look at small text with grayscale antialiasing

Actual results:

  • lack gamma correction, so text appear very thin, specially small text

Expected results:

  • it should be gamma corrected

The reason is firefox uses skia, and skia requires this flag: SK_GAMMA_APPLY_TO_A8 to apply gamma correction to this particular case

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

This is not GTK

This is a GFX/SKIA issue
