so how is everyone getting around the fact that firefox now renders fonts in a crazy way by default? it messes with my spacing and I cant think of a way to sort it server side?
 
even with letter-spacing set and line-height the text is still slightly off, also firefox adds padding to my form fields and i cant seem to override the setting, its at-least 2 px, my submit button is just as stubborn!
 
Really? I've not heard or seen this problem. I'll have a google.

Normally I use ems like below so maybe that's why I've not seen it?

Code:
BODY { font-size: 62.5% }
P { font-size: 1.2em; /* 12px */ }
SPAN { font-size: 2.4em; /* 24px */ }

im using ems, the fonts match up fine if you disable the gpu rendering within firefox, but that's turned on by default so isn't an option, the form padding occurs regardless.

edit: firefox is adding a 1 pixel pad to these input fields, font rendering aside is there a way to stop this?
