I have the latest version of Firefox (36.0).

On a number of web-sites, the font used for the text is not rendered great. A minor inconvenience but I becomes annoying when I try to print web pages (also ones that are rendered correctly) and when the text is rendered with such bad quality that the printout is useless. Never have the same issue with chromium.

Anyone with a similar problem? With a suggestion?

Many thanks in advance,

Karel

So there is a notable difference in rendering between firefox and chromium for the exact same web page?

Do you have system-cairo useflag enabled?

Did you enable or disable system-cairo to fix it?
