Description Rafal Boniecki 2006-10-28 13:48:06 UTC

Let pictures speak for themselves:
epiphany:

firefox:

What is epiphany using as font renderer? Why epiphany is using different rendering method than firefox? Can I enable it to use same one as found in firefox?

This looks suspiciously like ff and ephy are using different fonts.  Here, they both look the same with the same fonts.

Both ff and ephy have their own font settings.  Have you set them to use the same font?  I'd thought that ephy defaulted to the gnome fonts, but I could be wrong...

Uh. Yeah you are right. Sorry for the uproar :)
