Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

asac, ask that I create a new account and observe if the FF 3.5 uses the gnome appearance settings, it seems that it doesn't.

I set my gnome settings to *hint full*. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9426/74100265.png, FF 3.1 (on the right) is hinting correctly. F 3.5 isn't, it seems to be using *hint slight*. Have a look at the gnome taskbar and the FF 3.5 menu bar the renderings clearly aren't the same.

Is the hinting hardcoded somewhere?
