Seems like the recent font patches have caused trouble in both Firefox. In Firefox, I have to install corefonts for text to be legible at all lately. Is this expected?

I should mention that there's some chance a change in my build environment caused this. I recently switched from FC3 to Dapper Flight 6. Also, I'd been running with corefonts installed on FC3 for a while, so who knows when this happened, if it's real.
The symptom is that without core fonts, text in firefox looks really thin; it's the right size and shape, but the strokes are so thin as to be hard to see. - Dan

Hi Dan,
I suspect it's not a recent regression, most of the recent font changes haven't changed the font mapper. I am however going to be doing some work on the mapper soon, so hopefully things will improve.
Huw.
