Did the last update break some font rendering in your browsers?
Ever since the update today, some sites are not rendering fonts at all. In particular, the entire HDD section of Newegg.
Is anyone else seeing this. (Set the browser to allow the site to select its own fonts.)

Re: Did the last update break some font rendering in your browsers?
In a nutshell "no" - looks like it always did, to me. But I DID notice that the top of the text by there videos was cut off. But I'm gathering that is from the placement of the object, not so much the rendering of the text.
Also, at times, some of the fonts HERE are a bit "broken", but tolerable, though... (this post right here the "@" symbol is missing a bit in the upper left part of the "tail of the a" - if that makes sense - the rest of the post is "perfect")
BTW: I'm now running FF10 & Gnome 3 with extensions. Fonts are defaults & standard settings @ 1153x864 (4:3) res (FF is set to use sites font settings)

Re: Did the last update break some font rendering in your browsers?
Not sure if this is relevent to what info you need but, after looking around Newegg a bit more, I DO notice that some of the "blown up" pictures don't show. (they do on another computer here running XP, though) - MoBo's & car electronics are two that don't.

Re: Did the last update break some font rendering in your browsers?
Can't tell right now which version it is. I've rebooted into my old standby F11 that "Just Works".
However, before I did that, I tested in a dummy account (new profile) and it's busted there too. There was a type 1 font update today, and I suspect that's the culprit as it pooched the fonts in my e16 install as well.
It was installed as a dependency, so as soon as I chase those rabbits, I'll back that update out and see what happens. But that's a chore for morning. It's tired out in Texas tonight.
