User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050430 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050430 Firefox/1.0+ I tried 1.0.3 and the 20050430 nightly on OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and both exhibit character spacing problems when rendering bold fonts on seemingly any page. I'll attach a screen shot. I only notice this on OS X 10.4, not 10.3.9. Reproducible: Always

I have this problem too...
After much hacking around, I got Firefox to compile under Tiger, on the thought that some SDK modification might fix the text rendering problem. No such luck, a native Tiger build still exhibits the problem. Also note that text in <TEXTAREA> boxes is *really* messed up...
confirming, based on comments...

Changed summary based on new understanding of the bug. Also, I found Verdana exhibits the bug as well, so it's not just Arial as is suggested in my test case.

A workaround for this behavior is posted under https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288047 and I've verified it works for me too. Check it out.
