Bangla font is not being rendered/formatted properly in Firefox.

I restarted firefox in safe mode, still it's incorrectly formatted! I tried unchecking Hardware Acceleration from options, results are same. But, then I created another firefox profile and the font is being properly rendered in this new profile. Font settings are same for both the profiles.

How to solve this? Is there any about:config entry that is causing the problem? If so, why didn't it work in safe mode?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Did you check that the same font is used in both cases?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector ("3-bar" menu button or Tools > Web Developer) with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

Did you try to rename the prefs.js to see if that makes a difference?

Are there any font related prefs that do not have the default value in prefs.js?

You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Yes, it was sans-serif. Also, I used the same web-page for testing.

Are there any font related prefs that do not have the default value in prefs.js?

Yes, this is the culprit. I had previously changed sans-serif font from 'Arial' to 'Arial Unicode MS'. Changing this back to 'Arial' solved the problem..

  1. But, this font change is made in the Latin language group, why would that affect Bengali font rendering??
  2. And, if it's the website's problem (because they didn't specify the font language group in the webpage's source code), why isn't unchecking [Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above] solves the problem?
