Really the problem is they are using vector fonts; I use bitmap fonts in my xterm, and it is not as bad as the vector fonts used in Firefox. The text is not blurry if you are using bitmap fonts. How can I force Firefox and other programs to prefer bitmap fonts? (What I have tried, just results in no text being displayed at all.)

(High DPI is probably useful if you are doing a lot of print previewing, though.)



Uncheck the checkbox "allow sites to use their own fonts", then Firefox will use configured fonts.


I did that. But I still can't seem to configure it to use bitmap fonts. I got it to use bitmap fonts for the tab titles, the location bar, and the status bar, but it won't use bitmap fonts for anything else.
