I'm seeing less pretty font spacing when using trunk on Ubuntu 7.04. By narrowing it down, I could see that some fonts are gluing glyphs together, as the "as" in flash. This is the case when using Arial bold at 80% size for instance.
This seems to be a regression, as the same testcase on a Gecko 1.8 with Pango support does not show the issue. (I could not compare with a non-Pango 1.8 version, as it selects different font for Arial).
The issue seems to be around the glyph spacing, which is not computed the same between the two version, as the screenshot illustrates.

I'm seeing the same thing. The text rendering in Minefield looks significantly worse than in Firefox 2 right now. The attached Image shows a part of the Minefield project page in Firefox 2 above and in Minefield below.
Notice how the letters "at" get squished together in the trunk build but not in Firefox 2.

FWIW, the new textframe seems to fix this testcase quite nicely.

This has improved in recent nightly builds so I think this bug can be closed.

The issue is still there.
However, my first testcase was using Arial font, which mapped to sans-serif. Now, Arial is not the same as sans-serif, so I updated the testcase and screenshot.

By the way, things look quite better with subpixel rendering activated.

This is probably a duplicate of bug 553136.
