Since the latest update to 18.01 IceDragon, the fonts on pages will start to blur a bit, especially in composition pages such as Gmail and Wordpress. This never happened previously. This does NOT occur in Firefox, so this is not a computer issue.
Thanks
There’s definitely a difference in rendering between ID 18 and firefox 18. Have you tested with hardware acceleration off? Set ‘gfx.direct2d.disabled’ to True in about:config
Am following your advice. Changed the settings, so far so good in Gmail, no more font corruption after 10 minutes or so. If any more problems, will let you know.
Thanks for your quick response.
Problem continues this AM despite changing gfx.direct2d.disabled setting to ‘true.’
Have attached an image to show the font rendering difference between IceDragon and Firefox.
Would really like to see a fix to this as reading larger amounts of text in Firefox is definitely easier on the eyes than reading the updated less-clear IceDragon version.
Thanks

It’s probably better if you set this back to false, it was only meant as a test.

There is definitely a difference in the rendering of fonts between ID18 and fx18 even though they are using the same font family. The only other suggestion I have is to look at:
This was something I used when Mozilla first started with hardware acceleration. The the early versions of fx, with HWA on, fonts looked terrible, this add-on really helped. However, In the end, it’s down to Comodo to fix this.
Installed the Tuner - thanks for that. It did help, but the problem still exists on parts of the page. Interesting.
Yes, up to Comodo, hope they fix this or just go back to the old rendering method.
Thanks again.
