I have a very strange problem with Mozilla since I updated it to the
latest stable. The font used on the menus are rendered extermly badly
such as lots of white spaces between the letters, large blocky font.
The font option does not seem to change any of those fonts which makes
me think it maybe something to do with X11. However, none of the other
things I use have any font issues...
Any idea what's wrong?
