English pages look much better then Hebrew ones. Chimera is slightly better then mozilla, but still pretty bad. I am attaching screen shots of the same page, comparing Mozilla, Chimera, And Apple's Safari. (In this page they happen to be using the same font- but non of the above browsers let the user select the Hebrew font used. See bug 110655 for the Gecko browsers.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a Hebrew page 2. Look at the fonts 3. Compare with Omni or safari Actual Results: Low quality font Hebrew font rendering Expected Results: Hebrew font rendering should not be worse then Roman fonts For another example, see the same page in Chimera and Omni: http://www.xslf.com/temp/chimera.pdf http://www.xslf.com/temp/omni.pdf

Depends on: 110655, 149796
Shouldn't this be solved when bug 121540 is implemented ?
I am not sure. How well does ATSUI deal with non-roman non-system local text rendering? OSX has no Hebrew local- just a unicode keyboard for Hebrew.
Depends on: atsui
This is probably a dup of bug 121540, rather than a dependent on it.
Can someone attach a screenshot of how ATSUI renders Lucida Granade (Hebrew glyphs ofcourse).

I don't see any difference in font quality between current trunk (on the left) and Safari (on the right).
