Hi. Since ff 14 (actually i'm using ff 18.0.1) when i access a website with embed fonts, the embed font don't display correctly. This happens with all embed fonts and not with one or two...

I have 3 computers, all with diferent configurations and this problem happen with two of them.

This is a example of the problem: http://tinypic.com/r/2pqj78j/6

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
