    Firefox text question

    Sometimes I get this font used on webpages and I'm not sure why. I've never seen this happen on firefox at home, but at work it happens randomly (the attachment is from discover magazine's site). Has anyone seen this before? I checked the fonts&colors box on the options>content tab but it had times new roman listed (and I changed it to adobe garamond with no change on the page).

    go to tools>options>content and check the default font. set it to arial and see if it solves the problem.

    Yes they work fine in IE, they also work fine on firefox at home. It is just something on my work pc messing stuff up.

    one option would be to try purging your profile folder (%appdata%/mozilla) and seeing if that solves the problem. i doubt it, but i've had funky profiles do weeeeeeeeird things before.
