Hello

I've been using Mozilla Aurora since some time ago, but recently I started to notice some websites show incorrect web fonts, such as www.about.me, this is only happening in Aurora and Nightly, because Firefox displays it fine, but I hate the heavy memory use, so I prefer using Aurora, seems only monospaced fonts are wrong, and yes, I have default settings, I restarted it in safe mode and even restarted all the settings to default ones but the problem seems not to be fixed, so I guess it's not plugin or add on problem

here's a screenshot: http://i44.tinypic.com/63rq51.png

Did you try to delete the browser cache and reload the page? And about a new fresh profile to test?

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

You can try different default fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
  • [ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

none of the above solutions work, as I said, I'm using default settings, I don't want to change fonts on web pages, I want them to look as they are meant to be... it seems only webfonts are displaying wrong.
