I have replied in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856239#c125

I was very unpleasantly surprised by Fedora 18, because some sites are blurry as hell. I think people should not respond to this thread unless they see it on their own eyes first (and try to read some long article with that font). It makes my eyes bleed. Fedora 17 rendering was definitely better and crisper.

Yes, that is clear from screenshots.


If you do keep the current blurry fonts as default (god forbid), please at least provide an easy way to switch to Fedora 17 rendering style. Thanks.

We all thought we need to wait for some more times for this feature. Decided in Fedora i18 meeting to defer this feature now. I will build liberation 1.07.2 soon for Fedora 18. It will solve the issue.
Backward compatibility is difficult in this case. But next time i will give better try.

Pravin Satpute
