Just a note, hardware acceleration will not work on Pre-Vista OS’s, as it uses DirectWrite (Font API) and Direct2D (replacement for DirectDraw, requires a DX10.1 or higher video card for hardware acceleration). You can still use the advantages of DirectWrite font kerning even if your video card does not support DX10.1/11 (though you need Vista/7), but you will not be able to use hardware acceleration, without well, hardware support

You're right about that. We look forward to these changes in Firefox, since Chrome is quickly becoming a threatening competitor on this ground.

Seems Interesting! But HW Acclerated Graphics are surely to improve Visuals With its Anti alaising and many more techniques Kudos to Mozilla!
