It does not happen in every site, but it happens often enough to be annoying. Whose fault is this? Firefox’s or some botched picture rendering in Suse?
I think it’s a zoom function of Firefox 3.
When you used zoom function in Firefox 2,
it made only text bigger,
while Firefox 3 zooms pictures too, just like Opera.
Done that, didn’t help. It’s Suse. Suse doesn’t have much regard for fonts. They looked awful in 11.0 and I’ve read that they still suck in KDE 4 (I’m using 3.5).
The thing is that Firefox “uses” GTK libraries to “draw” the windows, styles, theme and fonts; while Konqueror uses Qt to do so.
When KDE launches some GTK app, it uses its GTK engine to render it, instead of Qt native engine. That’s why gnome native appz looks weird under KDE. So, there’s no solution to the thinner fonts, until Gnome & KDE developers joints efforts to do a better GUI.
The fonts are too thin in QT too. Fonts suck in Suse. They are perfect in Slackware. I’ve been told by Suse users that fonts used to be very nice in Suse 10.3 and became ugly in 11.
