As you know Firefox 3.5 is released yesterday(You can read my blog post about it
here.).But unlike Firefox 3.0, Firefox 3.5 takes its font hinting orders from fontconfig instead of gnome's font settings.I am using medium, subpixel hinting in gnome, but my firefox fonts were using slight, greyscale hinting.This is what i did to fix my problem (I found them somewhere at ubuntuforums dot org):
$sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf
$sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-sub-pixel.conf
$sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.available/10-hinting-medium.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/.
$sudo ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.available/10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/.
$sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
You can also browse the bug report on Launchpad
here.
