it's not the rendering of pages, but especially the display of mailbox 
folders containing unread messages in thunderbird.

I got the complaints of a colleague of mine, not myself, but since I'm 
responsible for installing the OS on his machine he complains to me. I 
try to be a good admin and forward his complaints. I didn't even find 
his current font rendering awkward in any way (though I agree it was a 
bit fat looking). Personally I'm "experimenting" with 2006.0 on my own 
desktop, I've just been a bit lazy to extend the experiment ;-)

I know, I was kinda fishing for others to check if this is a unique case 
or a general problem. If it's just our typical setup or my colleagues 
brain, I'll shut up. I'll try to see if I can get a screenshot or 
something, but I'll have to look hard for an unpatched machine to 
compare it to.

Anyway, just to get it off my chest, I don't really think I'm doing 
anything wrong posting my findings and searching for confirmation. If I 
get no confirmation, I don't have a reason to file a bug. That's why you 
see only me posting about it (so far?). No need to emphasise it, making 
me appear like a whining luser :-(
