Title:
  Installation slideshow: Tracking in large text is off

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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

  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.
