Benchmark plot looks rubbish on Firefox #658

(but looks fine on my machine on chromium). I think this is a Gadfly issue. Maybe best to use a PNG instead of whatever the picture is?

@mauro3 Wow, that's terrible. What OS & kind of device are you using?

That's an SVG graphic. It looks fine on FireFox 56.0.1 and Chrome 59.0.3071 on my Linux laptop (openSUSE Tumbleweed). I'm no expert on web standards, but I believe that scalable SVG is generally preferred over bitmap PNG because it adapts well to different pixel densities, resized windows, etc. But that above is a total mess.

Not sure what to do here. I think we need to know how widepsread the problem is and have someone with better knowledge of web development make a call.

EDIT: looks good on Chrome 61.0.2163 on MacOS.

Yep, terrible. I use Arch Linux with Firefox 56.0.1 (64-bit).

It looks normal to me on both FreeBSD and macOS with Firefox 56.0.2.

Ok, sorry it was my fault(ish), I ran into this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29878587/firefox-doesnt-respect-font-size-in-svg-text
