This seems not to reproduce on Mac OS X 10.11.6 w/Firefox 50.0, MacBook Air, display 1440x900. At 90%: It also looked okay (the same, more or less) at 90% on Ubuntu.recent, and on both platforms it looked okay at other magnifications. Can you try this on a more recent version of Windows? |

It seems better with windows 10: Firefox 100%: |

Windows 7 is very old and the font technology there is old too. I doubt there's much we can do. |

Srsly? This is the "solution" to the problem? What about people working with a windows 7 computer given by the company? |

New nice fonts
What did you see instead?
The experience differs quite a lot with zoom factor and browser supplier
While I strongly appreciate the work that lead to the new fonts for go, the experience on firefox is rather poor.
Please see the screenshots below.
Specialy 90% zoom factor looks not very nice, but also the (most imporant) 100% could be a lot better.
On chrome, the fonts look just different, a little lighter over all.
This is on windows 7 and it might be different with other operating systems.
