Can you show a screenshot of the same two pages, for easier comparison?

Hey, sorry for the driveby - I think I've found a related bug on Canonical's Launchpad:

Last comment includes a screenshot:

The subpixel rendering in the red text looks a little funky.

shanttu: is this like what you're seeing?
