Details

It seems that in the latest Minefield on OS X there is no way to display text with proper kerning and ligatures. In FF 3.6.3 it used to be on by default. Now even setting the text-rendering: optimizeLegibilit explicitly does nothing. For example see: http://www.aestheticallyloyal.com/public/optimize-legibility/ or https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-rendering

Set gfx.font_rendering.harfbuzz.level; to 0 to get the kerning back
