Hi,

I have a Sun Blade 1000 running Solaris 9 08/03. The machine
has dual Elite 3Dm6 framebuffers and I have enable Xinerama mode.

When running Mozilla 1.4 I notice that certain web sites cause very
unpleasant font rendering (e.g. a mixture of gigantic fonts, and
unreadable fonts).

When I used to run Netscape 7.0 on a Sun Ultra 2 with series 3 Creator
3D I don't recall this problem (Solaris 08/03 again).

I was wondering whether anyone else has encountered this behavior?

Thanks and regards,
Andrew
