Default Firefox Font Rendering SUCKS

Hi,

I've just previewed my latest website in Firefox, and it looks...well...crap.

I use CSS to build my sites, so I can quickly and easily test different fonts, point sizes etc...

Well, I'm thoroughly disappointed with the way Firefox renders ANY font at less than 18px...I've tried all the standard web fonts and they look blocky, pixelated, almost fake. More importantly, they're an eye-strain.

As soon as they hit 18px, the fonts look normal, but at that size my site looks like it's been made for the vision-impaired...

IE & Safari look great at any size...

What's the deal?

Steve

I've never seen this problem before. Do you have an example site to view?

I agree, my site looks fine in Safari, but looks a little jaggy in Firefox.
