How do you get font anti-aliasing to match Chrome and IE?

I have just noticed how bad Firefox font rendering is compared to Chrome and IE on Windows. This was most apparent on the new BBC News site. The title "Richard III viewers wait for hours" looks awful. The "III" looks like "I II". I tried 2 and 5 for gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode but nothing seemed to change. Any ideas?

Hi

You may want to try this add (link).

Once installed, go to about:addons and in the Options for that addon, you can turn the settings on and off as required.

Thanks for the link. No Luck.

I think the problem must be hardware related, maybe video driver. It looks bad on a Vostro laptop but fine on a desktop pc even with "Use Hardware Acceleration When Available." turned off. All settings are the same: Cleartype on, fresh Firefox profile, Windows 7 32bit.

What font is used to display that text?

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

I stand corrected. It is still bad on my desktop pc. It was just luck that it looked ok the second time. The "Richard III" title is in "Arial Bold system, used as Arial". The only strange thing about it is "letter-spacing:-0.5px" for ".title-link". It still looks close to perfect in Chrome and IE. The link is "http://www.bbc.co.uk/news" but it will change soon.
