On http://redtracker.runeterra.com/ and http://www.mmo-champion.com/ the white text is very differently rendered from Firefox 3.6.9. The text is normally, with ClearType on, rendered as it should, but on Minefield it is showing with those extra red/green pixels which will hurt your eyes very quickly.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit those URLs with a Windows 7 machine.
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Saw the text slightly larger and the red/green pixels appear which makes reading uncomfortable.
Expected Results:
Display the text slightly smaller and without those red/green pixels that show on Minefield.
Firefox 3.6.9 does not have this problem at all.

Hsivonen asked me about my gfx.* settings on the Minefield install, they're all set to default.
I personally find the current default on Minefield a big regression from the 3.6 series in viewing pleasure.
I don't see a difference between 3.6.x and Minefield with default settings on Windows 7 with default font settings running on a virtual machine whose graphics capability isn't enough for Glass/Aero stuff.

I don't have any trouble on Windows 7 with these 2 sites.
According to me this is a DW issue (enabled by default in b5pre), which is graphic card dependent.
For Minefield b5pre, go to "about:support" and provide a copy of the graphic info.

I tried using the Windows 7 Basic Theme (which should disable Aero according to all the guides I found) and it didn't change anything in the resulting look 'n feel.

At least 4.0b7pre nightlies still have this visibly problematic display. If there are other things I can do/test, please let me know.
