Bug 90140 – Antialiased fonts gone in mozilla-firefox 1.0.3, mozilla 1.7.7

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description Joel Parker 2005-04-23 10:00:43 UTC]

I recently updated to both mozilla-firefox-1.0.3 and mozilla-1.7.7, and my font antialiasing is now gone in both of them.

Here's how I emerged (except I did them seperately):

# emerge -pv mozilla mozilla-firefox

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

I just tried mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0.3, and fonts are normal there. It's only the from-source versions that are screwed up.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-12-22 20:44:08 UTC]

These version are no longer in portage, reopen if this is still an issue with up-to-date ebuilds.
