It’s working fine for me in FF3 on a Mac… my user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5 marco: Firefox 3 still has this annoying text-rendering bug for me. This is the complete source of my test page: <html> <body> Look at the so/urce code to this. </body> </html> It converts o/ to ø, plus a few other similar bugs. Am I the only one seeing this? This might be related to the Twitter random-spaces-in-words bug: does this say “for th e Underworld” in Firefox 3 for you? (Note that the offending space in “th e” isn’t in the HTML source.)
