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.)

The Twitter thing is some poor wrapping attempt by them. This line in their JS triggers it (and turning off JS also removes the effect):
  if ($.browser.mozilla) {    $('.entry-content:first').isWrapped(490);  }
I also don’t see the ø on Firefox 3/Mac.
