Website shows me unreadable or ugly fonts after installing Helvetica neue. (Firefox)
Some websites like Yahoo and Facebook would show me ugly fontn and its very disturbing. I tried to uninstal the Helvetica neue and the problem was fixed BUT i really need the font for work. ps: I'm using the last version of Firefox up to date. No problem seen in chrome concerning this, but I don't like to use chrome. Many thank's

Hi happyhappy, Some fonts I agree are not so great on different UIs. I did some research in the settings to see if you could specify fonts for certain websites. Unfortunately it only allows you to choose if all websites are allowed to use other fonts or not. I think there is actually an addon that does this. Customize your Web
Thank's for you answer. The addon dosen't work, I think I'm gonna stick a distorted helvetica ... I found that increasing the DPI of your screen makes the fonts a lot clearer but at the same time it makes everything uglier.

We have seen a lot of occurrences of issues with Helvetica fonts on Windows platform over the past years. The Helvetica font is usually only installed and used on the Mac platform and versions installed on Windows can give a lot of issues.
You could try to find a (TrueType) Helvetica font variant that works better and doesn't give issues in Firefox if you really need this font.
