hi,

some fonts on some web pages are jagged, with bold vertical lines and hard to read in FF 43.0.4 [see the attached screenshots comparing FF and IE11].

texts in other apps and in the whole win7 enviroment look fine and crisp. i don't use and don't want to use the win7 feature "ClearType": it solves the firefox issue [i.e. the texts become smooth], but a system-wide use makes the fonts in other apps+win7 somewhat bold...

i've googled for hours and tried the following, but it didn't help: - display driver is up to date - uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available" - set "webgl.disabled" to true.

thank you very much for help.

What font uses Firefox when this happens?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (3-bar Menu button or Tools > Web Developer) with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.
