Bug#465309: cdbaby.com font rendering inferior to that of iceweasel

[Sam Morris]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.20.3-1
Severity: normal

I'm attaching two screenshots of the page at
<http://cdbaby.com/cd/dopestarsincmusic>. The first was taken in
with Epiphany and the second with Iceweasel.

Epiphany renders the body text font differently to iceweasel.
Iceweasel's version looks nice and smooth, but Epiphany's has extra
pixels in odd places, giving it a poorly scaled look.

Both browsers were started with fresh profiles, so there shouldn't be
any user settings screwing up the test.
