@font-face pixelated font on one laptop, but not the other
I have two laptops that are identical, both are running:
Windows 7, 64bit Service pack 1, clear type enabled. Both have FireFox 14.0.1 with firebug and web developer toolbar installed.
On one the @font-face font is pixelated and the other is displaying it fine. The font has no issues on any other browser or device and the fonts are being hosted and reference the same domain.
I have also tested it on other machines and it seems to work perfectly on all PC's and some laptops, but there are some that render the font pixelated (32bit & 64bit) This is a PC issue only as it renders fine on MAC's
My fonts are current coded as follows:
@font-face {
font-family: "RouterLight"; src: url("fonts/Router-Light.eot") format("eot");
src: url("fonts/Router-Light.svg#font") format("svg"), url("fonts/Router-Light.eot?#iefix") format("embedded-opentype"), url("fonts/Router-Light.woff") format("woff"), url("fonts/Router-Light.ttf") format("truetype");
font-weight:normal;
font-style:normal;

I see that you've created a bug report about your problem.
- bug 781096 - @font-face pixelated font on one laptop, but not the other
Is Firefox using the downloaded font in all cases?
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.
Hi Cor-el, Firefox is using the downloaded font in both cases. Thanks for the extension.
Do you have problems with other locally installed fonts or downloaded fonts?
The fonts at google.com/webfonts are also pixelated. I think that it may be because the laptop has a low quality graphics card. I have attached a screenshot of the graphics settings being picked up in through about:support
Are there any settings in the graphics display driver to adjust this?

Hi Corel,
It looks like a wide spread graphics card issue where Firefox has black listed certain graphics cards and block the webgl Render - you can see my bug post here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781096 for more details.
I don't need a fix for my computer, its my users on my website that I am worried about as I don't want any of them to see the fonts pixelated.
