ianw1974 Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Try Edit/Preferences/Content and the Advanced button under Fonts. There is an option I think, something like "Allow webpages to choose their own fonts instead of my fonts". This could be why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellfried Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 that option is checked by default. still no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 23, 2006 Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 Try turning off, does it make a difference? Also, check what fonts are set up in Gnome, as Firefox is a GTK app, and therefore if the settings are weird in here, it will affect GTK apps.

hellfried Posted November 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2006 thanks who would have thought that unchecking that option will correct the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
