Default Bad looking fonts in Firefox.


Hello,

What can be done so that truetype fonts in Firefox (with xft support)
will look better? I enabled Freetype2 in unix.js:

pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);

and turned anti-aliasing on, but no matter what I do, the same font
which in Windows' Firefox looks perfect - almost unreadable in
Linux's Firefox.

Here are some screenshots for example (using Microsoft Sans Serif):

Linux, anti-aliased: -- tinyurl.com/ysxza
Linux, non-anti-aliased -- tinyurl.com/39e7o
Windows -- tinyurl.com/2n9bc

What should be done in order to get the same fonts' quality
as in Windows' screenshot?

ddtl.
