the dom stuff works great (albeit slowly), but the text just isn't readable :-( picture.

it looks perfectly fine here. You need to install some non-suck fonts, I guess. I suggest Microsoft Web Fonts pack from http://www.microsoft.com/typography or something like that.
martin: this is a xlib bug, not GTK. GTK screenshots don't do any good here.
oh never mind, you were comparing.
How does gtk-mozilla or ns 4.x look like on mix? Maybe attach from xlsfonts run from mix would help.
I think mix misses some fonts and substitute fonts sucks. I guess this is wontfix/invalid. Try installing some more fonts.

nc4 looks much better than gtk or xlib on the same xserver. I know mix's font selection sucks, but i don't see a reason we shouldn't be able to render the page as nicely as nc4 (or at least as nicely as gtk).

I'll hope bug 94327 ("When there are multiple fonts with different foundry names but the same family name moz should pick the best fit based on width, weight and available size") will fix this ...
Depends on: 94327
