Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
The font in firefox is too blurry, maybe hinting is enabled.
The gnome interface font is ok, only firefox and openoffice suffers from this problem.
I already try to disable hinting on about:config in firefox, but this was disabled by default.
---------- -----------
There is a workaround mentioned in comment 109:
sudo rm /etc/fonts/
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
---------- -----------
==================
My /.fonts.conf looked like this:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hinting" >
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
</edit>
</match>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="antialias" >
</edit>
</match>
<dir>
</fontconfig>
After deleting:
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" >
</edit>
</match>
everything seems to be fixed.

Hi. Thanks for your bug report.
Can you do the following steps? (Assuming you're using edgy):
- Open Edit/Preferences;
- Go to "Content" tab
- Click on "Advanced" button (under fonts & colors group)
- Choose the fonts:
Proportional -> Serif (Size: 16)
Serif -> serif
Sans-serif -> sans-serif
Monospace -> monospace (Size: 12)
- Hit "OK" Button
- Try to open the ugly pages.
What happened? Problem solved?
