Shows irregular kerning on youtube settings page
I'm using the GNOME browser (formerly known as epiphany) with webkit2gtk 2.10.0 on Debian Linux on a Macbook 13" Retina. I've applied the patch from <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - [GTK] Accelerated compositing should support hidpi"

bz_status_NEW "
title="NEW - Font kerning in WebKit is quite bad"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=109955">bug #109955</a>, but I think this is a different issue because of the different OS etc, and the custom CSS suggested there made no difference. I suspect this is another problem with accelerated rendering. Could it be anything to do with <a class="bz_bug_link
