Markmentovai says: Thanks, Mike3k, but that only works for projects that are built entirely from within Xcode.  We have a tremendous and complex cross-platform build system, of which Xcode-based projects are only a tiny piece.  Supporting universal binaries painlessly and properly means reimplementing much of what Xcode already does.  Forunately, we do now have that: read about [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mac_OS_X_Universal_Binaries universal binary] support in Mozilla.

It appears that on 10.4.5 Intel, subpixel rendering is a no go.  Fonts are still antialiased; they just don't do anything fancy for LCD displays.  This has been filed as bug 328650.

Thanks, Kaya.  Yours is the second report I've gotten of this.  Something might be up at the OS level, but it's also possible that we're doing something wrong.  We'll look into this.

Markmentovai sez: Hey, thanks!  We're rolling even more improvements now that the universal builds are seeing some real testing and QA.  There are some cool new fixes that let you bring your ppc profile and even cache straight over to an x86 without losing any data.
