[SOLVED] Firefox's Fonts got BOLD

mathrisk · 06-26-2009, 11:30 AM

I am facing a weird problem with my Firefox. I was out for few days and my friends used my PC. Dunno what they have did, what they installed/updated, now I having most of the fonts in Firefox in BOLD face. It looks like this

It's really annoying to see things like this. Its not a bigger font. Ctrl+ - (minus) make the font smaller, but still they are bold only. Ctrl+0 does nothing.
See my settings. I guess these are also default only.

Tried changing the theme. Didn't worked.
FF version is v3.0.11, released June 11, 2009.
Addons installed are Greasemonkey, Xmarks, DTA, Fireshot and DataFox(for BSNL data tracking).

Any help to make this thing normal?

TIA

Your settings are indeed default, so they're fine.

Is the bold effect just on Google pages or all?

Check your Scripts in Greasemonkey. Sounds like they could have installed one that changes the pages attributes.

The issue been resolved.
The arial.ttf was having some problem.
when I reinstalled the font, the problem gone.
