Thanks - does anyone how a suggestion regarding how to proceed with this? Two default installations lead to different results. There is something interesting I noticed. I did a simple Google search using the Tor browser and did an identical search in FF 50, both on Leap 42.2. Tor, which is uses FF 45.5.0 renders whatever font Google search results are in much more readable than FF 50. The default fonts on certain pages in FF 50 look near unreadable. I have to use the zoom feature frequently. It's more than just not having a 4K Ultra HD monitor, as those same pages look better (when speaking of font rendering) when using FF 50 under the latest Tumbleweed snapshot. I took a screenshot of the same page rendered by FF 50 on TW and in 42.2, and

Whether it's FF, the version of Plasma, X, or the video card driver or some other factor in the chain, fonts are different and a little better looking on TW. I still want to try the dropdown list with colored text on 42.2 on a couple other machines to see if I can reproduce the rendering error. But thus far, as I've said, on a pretty much vanilla box that has an ATI card using the open source radeon driver, the text is rendered correctly. Maybe this could be down to what type of video card is installed in the machine, and there is a bug in FF that may have something to do with OpenGL. By the way, have you tried turning OpenGL off in FF? FF by default has direct hardware access to the video card, which from a security standpoint is kind of taboo. That is why some users turn this off for security reasons. Regardless, FF has facilities that interop with the video card and driver the user has installed in the machine, so that is where the problem may lie. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
