** Description changed:

  Apparently the larger text rendered in the Ubuntu Font Family has broken
  kerning/tracking in the installer slideshow.
  
  The relevant slides are HTML files that can be found in the 'ubiquity-
  slideshow-ubuntu' source package at:
  
-   ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-29/slideshows/ubuntu/slides/*.html
+   ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu-29/slideshows/ubuntu/slides/*.html
  
  This should be a manifestation of bug #617522 "does not use kerning
  tables at >20px (text-rendering: optimizeLegibility)"
+ 
+ ubiquity-gtk is using webkit; webkit had a patch included a year ago
+ that enables the CSS "text-rendering: optimiseSpeed vs.
+ optimizeLegibility" properties in a similar manner to Firefox.  It may
+ be enough to set these.
