Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Yaniv Kaul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

The rendering of some fonts (see in the attached bitmap - the white on red background) is clearly not readable - compared to both 4.0b1 and 3.6.8(which I have on the same machine and compared a minute later on the same page) - see the font that's NOT in the title of the two red text boxes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.ynet.co.il (sorry, in Hebrew)
2. 
3.
Actual Results:  
Some Hebrew fonts are now rendered less clearly

Expected Results:  
Should rendered as clearly as in previous versions - inc 4.0b1.

Yes - looks the same (what's the difference? PNG vs. BMP?)

No, haven't seen it for some time. Closing.
