That is a big difference. Not to gloat, but I don't seem to have the problem: http://www.marcuscom.com/mozilla/mozilla.png That was taken on a machine running: FreeBSD jclarke-pc.cisco.com 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Oct 21 14:57:40 EDT 2002 marcus@jclarke-pc.cisco.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/JCLARKE-PC i386 With XFree86 4.2.1 running on an ATI Radeon with radeon.ko loaded, and DDR enabled. Screen depth is 1280x1024 with 24-bit color. I have been told Matrox cards have a problem with XFree86 and anti-aliased fonts. I also noticed some strange font issues when I first started mozilla-devel. They weren't nearly as strange as what you're seeing, but after I tweaked my fonts to what you see in the screenshot, everything looked pretty good. Does the problem persist if you build defining WITHOUT_XFT?
