Something broken font rendering in latest version?
Since beta automatic update today has now for some reason broken font rendering using gdipp and has defaulted to the cleartype rendering which I am unable to read.

Try to set the gfx.content.azure.enabled pref to false or if this didn't help disable Direct2D by setting the gfx.direct2d.disabled pref to true on the about:config page and leave hardware acceleration otherwise enabled.
