How to make fonts in firefox look prettier? For example like in sleipnir

Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to make fonts in firefox look smooth and easy to read?
I've tried using Sleinpir browser (http://www.fenrir-inc.com/us/sleipnir/) which has aimed to provide smooth and readable text and almost every piece of text looks just better and more pleasant to read.
I've tried almost every setting both in Options dialog and in about:config (under gfx.font filter).
Enabling rendering via directwrite helped a lot, but it's still nothing compared to Sleipnir.
Here are some screenshots:

Firefox with directwrite enabled - http://s5.postimg.org/k15xb3c1h/ff_directdraw.png
Sleipnir - http://s5.postimg.org/5w049a305/sleipnir_default.png
So is there a way to make fonts look this pretty in firefox? Is there any iniciative to make FF capable of such thing?
Thanks a lot
(EDIT: I've even tried instaling gdi++ https://code.google.com/p/gdipp/ alternative renderer for windows, but it doesn't seem to make any change in firefox)

    how to make font larger for turbotax

    There doesn't appear to be a setting in TurboTax to make the font bigger.
    But you can go to Applications/System Preferences/Displays/Display and pick Resolution:Scaled and experiment with different resolutions, which will make the fonts look bigger.
    There are also zoom settings in System Preferences/Accessibility/Zoom.

    It could be as simple as clipping an image of the fabric of your choice, to a text layer.
    In this example the Hessian texture was downloaded from Google images, and placed over a Type layer.  You then Alt (Opt) click the intersection of the Type and Hessian layer to clip them together.  This just means that only the shape of the underlying layer will show in the clipped layer.

  • How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password?

    Hello all
    How to make dyn/admin not to prompt for username and password? I am writing a selenium job to automate cache invalidation to load test a production issue we are facing. Selenium is opening a fresh firefox session and prompting for username and password every time. I am also trying to modify my script such that it will use the same session again and not prompt for username and password. But I thought of asking this question in the group.
    Your inputs will help a lot.
    Thanks,
    Sundar

    Hi,
    You can set enabled property of /atg/dynamo/servlet/adminpipeline/AuthenticationServlet/ to false. It will not prompt for authentication.

  • Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times

    Time Capsule only works for one device at a time, how to make it capable to be used for multiple devices at times.
    Please help to set it up, thanks in advance

    You need to give more info..
    Firstly only works for what.. networking.. backup.. wireless. You need more nouns.. more adjectives... describe what you want and what fails.. then we can figure out why.
    Most likely you have bridged it when it should be in router mode..
    Most likely you are using Lion or ML which has the airport utility bridge the TC by default.
    Change it to working as a router. That might help.
    If you press reset button it will default back to router btw.
    If you are on Lion.. use a real utility. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1547

    What app have you used to create your ibook?  Normally any app will have a menu item like File > Export that will give you the option of PDF, or you can use Print and there will be an option in the Print dialogue to Print to PDF.

    How to make Adobe as your default viewer for all your PDF file instead of the Preview given? Thanks

    you need to "Get Info" on the file first. Select it, right click and select 'Get Info' in the menu.
    In the window that pops up, near the bottom, the "Open With" drop down menu needs changed. If the drop down menu does not present the one you want, select "Other" and find it.

  • I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this   الس    but they always appear like that ا ل س

    I have everything set for Arabic fonts and the keyboard as well. When I type in WORD or EXCEL I just get individual Arabic letters, but they never connect, they should be for example like this   الس    but they always appear like that ا ل س

    MS Word for Mac has never supported Arabic.  You have to use other apps.  Mellel is best, but Pages 5, TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/LibreOffice should work OK.
    Sometimes you can make Word for Mac do connected Arabic if you are editing a document created with Windows Word.

  • HT1386 How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?

    Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    Yosemite mail v8.0 not showing how many messages are in a mailbox. For example inbox. Before upgrading it used to show how many messages you had in your inbox. anyone know how to switch "on" the number of messages? Or has this feature been removed?

    Agreed! This feature was very useful. If you find out how to turn it on, please let me know.
    Apple, there is plenty of room in the window header all the way across on both sides of the word "Inbox". It's important to know many messages are in the Inbox. It provides a progress meter when you're cleaning out mail and striving for inbox zero.

  • How to make the fonts in Firefox sharper so there more like the fonts in Google Chrome?

    I'm currently in the process of moving from Google Chrome to Firefox, and I noticed that the fonts in Firefox are allot more smoother then what they are in Google Chrome, is there anyway to make the Firefox fonts look as sharp as what the fonts are in Google Chrome?

    This article has some suggestions for fixing bad-looking fonts: '''[[Fonts look blurry]]'''
    There are also some improvements coming in Firefox 7, which is currently available for testing on the [http://www.firefox.com/channel Aurora channel]. (It will be released to the beta channel in a few days, and will become the new stable release six weeks from now.)
    If you're interested in the technical details, [https://blog.mozilla.com/nattokirai/2011/08/11/directwrite-text-rendering-in-firefox-6/ this article] has some in-depth information and some more preferences you can tweak.

  • How to make a rasterized word look like it was written with dirt?

    Im trying to make an image where this word looks like it is written in dirt on the sidewalk.  Iv' already taken a pile of dirt and created a clip mask out of it but it doesnt look natural enough.  How do I do this so it looks realistic? And this is a graphic not font and I am using photoshop cs6. Thank you.

    I'll just add a little footnote to the above, while I'm thinking about it.  One problem with layer styles - especially complex ones like Bevel & Emboss, is that you have limited control of the different aspects of the effect.  I didn't use Bevel & Emboss in the above example because the highlights were too strong, and made it look wrong.
    A way round this is to right click the effect and choose 'Create layers'.  This breaks up the effect into one or more layers, so you can reduce, say, the highlight without effecting the shadow.
    I think if I was trying to do a stand out job, I'd use a finer font, so it looked like it had been drawn with a stick, and I'd use a combination of Bevel and Emboss layer style to get the depth, but I'd also use JJ's idea of a displacement map clipped to the text layer, to roughen the edges realistically, and add texture to the bottom of the indented text.
    An alternative is to find a suitable texture, and save it as a Pattern.  That would make it available to use as a 'Texture' in the Bevel Emboss sub options. The beauty of this is that the texture works very much like a Displacement map with depth and lighting effects.  In fact, I think that might be the easiest way to go about it.
