It’s a happy day here at Heather’s desk! Six weeks ago I got a beautiful new MacBook Pro (17″ widescreen thankyouverymuch). I’ve really been enjoying it and am definitely now in full Mac mode as far as keyboard shortcuts and related things. But I’ve had one huge issue all along… I had super strange font display issues in Firefox. They’ve been so bad that I had to resort to using Gmail in Safari and I’d like to say that it has not been pretty. (It’s like Gmail in the Dark Ages — no formatting bar, no Reply button at the top, etc.) After multiple Google searches with a variety of search phrases, I finally found an answer tonight! The solution was so amazingly easy and quickly fixed my issues. I’m now back in the 21st Century version of Gmail and am so pleased about that.

In case you too are having the wonky font issues in Firefox on a Mac, here is the Holy Grail: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Text_overlaps_on_Mac
