Firefox experience in Ubuntu is inferior to Firefox experience in Vista (at least on my Thinkpad).
It's noticeably slower and fonts are uglier (even after installing exactly the same TrueType fonts as on Windows).
- bad_user 17y agoFor me the fonts are better in Linux. The clear-type technology they introduced in Vista doesn't play well with existing monitors. I have a 19 inch LCD display that's very decent, but I purchased it before Vista's release. The fonts on Vista have a red hallow that are unbearable, and I'm not the only one with this problem (and trust me, I played with the clear-type settings, although they don't make that easy). On a big monitor with a typical DPI, clear-type just adds visual noise. In Gnome the standard font anti-aliasing that doesn't use clear-type is great.
