Render IE vs Firefox 5

On item which are <strong> and use the class mw.specialpagerestricted the render is odd looking on Firefox 5.

Affect 1.17wmf1 also. See attachment for current render of http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version as for 2011-06-26.

Might be related to Bug 26442.

What's odd about it exactly? Is Firefox just drawing in a bolder style?

Comment 4 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-06-30 15:20:11 UTC

known issue: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/749272

Comment 5 Solitarius 2011-09-02 18:44:45 UTC

Indeed, it's a know issue and/or expected behaviour. It come from the new DirectWrite text rendering on Firefox on Windows.

A more in-depth explanation is available here: http://blog.mozilla.com/nattokirai/2011/08/11/directwrite-text-rendering-in-firefox-6/

Closing this bug as INVALID. Anyone feel free to clean up after me and set another Status as appropriate.

Best regards and thanks
