716601 - Non-90 degrees rotated text looks butt-ugly on FF10 / OSX

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 492214

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Mikko Ohtamaa]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0
Build ID: 20120104111456

Steps to reproduce:

I created a nice pop-up note using CSS3 rotation transform.

The rotated pop-up note can be found at the bottom left corner of this page:

http://collective-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html


Actual results:

It didn't look so nice on Firefox 10 OSX, though it looks good on Chrome / OSX.


Expected results:

Firefox would render the text so that it doesn't look ****.

Based on the output, looks like it might be somekind of 

* precision issue

* issue when interacting with OS font rendering

Looks like rotation degrees varies from character to character and the sentence does not run along a common line.

Sending this to layout (best guess).

Yep, this is an interaction with OS font rendering...
