This could be because I just restarted firefox, but it really does seem faster with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1. In addition, I can't tell any difference; what exactly does pango do in Firefox (text spacing does seem a little different)?
Pango provides support for complex language writing systems -- the ones that require extensive character manipulation. Compare this page with and without pango, if you have indian fonts : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Enabling_complex_text_support_for_Indic_scripts#Check_for_existing_support (you will need some indic fonts installed to see the difference, like fonts-bengali) If you do not need to deal with complex scripts, then you can safely disable pango with no ill effects. -- Konstantin Ryabitsev Montréal, Québec -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
