Maybe you have a second look and convince yourself first that there exist 2 x 2
= 4 combinations (with and w/o BCI; with and w/o web core fonts) which
correspond to the 4 (different (!)) attached screenshots. If you wonder that
the text body of screenshots 1 and 3 look the same then you should also look at
the URL bar which undeniably shows a clear difference in the way the default
sans serif text is rendered. I can hardly imagine that while BCI is used for
rendering GTK widgets it is not by Xulrunner. As a matter of fact, button
labels in case 3 without active bytecode interpreter looks clearly better (in
my opinion). Case 1 reminds me of older Ubuntu releases which always suffered
from too skinny characters.
