Whoa, sorry for being off-topic, but what's up with the horrible font rendering?! I noticed something similar in IE9 and decided not to use it, am I missing something here?

It's called DirectWrite, it's the new font rendering API Microsoft included with Windows 7.

I see, thanks for the reply. How come I can't see this anywhere else in Windows 7? Is it a certain form of implementation of DW in specific applications that causes this? Maybe I'm overreacting but I would hate to see this being there in the final build! :unsure: Though, I take it that one can turn it off?

[kilara1988]

I guess it's not autoscrolling.I just unchecked it and it still breaks the page.What does autoscroll do anyway?

Applications have to be changed to use it, it isn't an automatic thing.

You can disable it, but doing so involves disabling hardware acceleration (you can't have the old text rendering API while also using Direct2D, it's way to slow), which can be done in Preferences > Advanced then down the bottom on the first tab (then restart the browser)

Edit: You can actually make DirectWrite render the text the same way as the old API, but doing so defeats the point of using DirectWrite in the first place.

As i understand, JM is not in any of the beta yet and is available as a separate build.

Has it been merged into nighties yet?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

It was merged a week or so ago.

Found greasemonkey nightly's for Minefield but I don't think they work properly (well they don't for me anyway)

I'm running Vista, and when I installed IE9 Beta it installed an update along with it (KB2117917) which had the effect of making the font rendering ugly. After I uninstalled it, everything was back to the fuzzy fonts.

The latest build from that link works for me.

D10D getting close.. just made a build with the patches from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546514 and scrolling is incredibly fast. Of course this requires a proper video card..

Direct2D Enabled: true

DirectWrite Enabled: true

GPU Accelerated Windows: 1/1 Direct3D 10

weee

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

I wouldn't have thought DX10 would make a large performance difference (since they're not relying on any low level stuff, they're just rendering simple quads + textures), but apparently it makes D2D interop much faster, and cuts startup time since it no longer has to load DX9 and DX10 (via D2D)

Yeah it works but I can't seem to add my installed greasemonkey scripts to the list.

Try to install the normal build again and then the beta again. It works for me now and i have my scripts too (it was the same thing that you).

So when are we getting the first nightly with D3D10? :p
