Low quality font Hebrew font rendering in Gecko browsers, even when font
smoothing is on. English pages look much better then Hebrew ones. Chimera is
slightly better then mozilla, but still pretty bad.
I am attaching screen shots of the same page, comparing Mozilla, Chimera, And
Apple's Safari.
(In this page they happen to be using the same font- but non of the above
browsers let the user select the Hebrew font used. See bug 110655 for the Gecko
browsers.)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a Hebrew page
2. Look at the fonts
3. Compare with Omni or safari
Actual Results:
Low quality font Hebrew font rendering
Expected Results:
Hebrew font rendering should not be worse then Roman fonts
For another example, see the same page in Chimera and Omni:

Shouldn't this be solved when bug 121540 is implemented ?

I am not sure. How well does ATSUI deal with non-roman non-system local text
rendering? OSX has no Hebrew local- just a unicode keyboard for Hebrew.
Depends on: atsui
This is probably a dup of bug 121540, rather than a dependent on it.

Can someone attach a screenshot of how ATSUI renders Lucida Granade (Hebrew
glyphs ofcourse).

I don't see any difference in font quality between current trunk (on the left) and Safari (on the right).
