Rustdoc font glitch

[retep998]

On a Windows computer with anti-aliasing disabled using Firefox the following rendering issue occurs.

Changing the font from Source Code Pro to anything else fixes it.

A similar thing happens for me on http://play.rust-lang.org/ with the '&&' token (a single '&' doesn't trigger it). I haven't checked the font there but I guess it's somehow related. It's in Firefox on Windows, with anti-aliasing:

Is fine. (However I get the double ampersand botch with antialiasing disabled)

Can you explain why someone would want to disable anti-aliasing? Right now it's a bit like saying "rustdoc search does not work on computers with JS disabled".
Also can you detail which version of Windows you are using.

@Boddlnagg play.rust-lang.org might be using a too old version of Source Code Pro since it fetches from Google Font.
adobe-fonts/source-code-pro#11

Something weird through is that it's claimed to have been fixed in version 1.010 and Google Font serves version 1.017… in any case rustdoc serves the latest version which does not seem affected by this is bug so I think you should report it on rust-lang/rust-playpen (cc @thestinger).

I hadn't realized that local fonts are preferred over webfonts. I had an old version of Source Code Pro installed that still had the bug. Maybe it's the same for you, @retep998?

Some people use aliased text because for whatever reason they find anti-aliased text to be unreadable and gives them a headache.
Anyways, confirmed that it was an old local copy of Source Code Pro that was causing the issue.

So that explains it – can you close this issue? Or should we document this.
