How to substitute specific fonts on any page with corresponding fonts of my own choice? I'm using Firefox 12 on Windows 7.

Examples on what I want to be able to do: Change the font Arial on any page I visit, with Tahoma. Change the font Georgia on any page I visit, with Droid Serif. Change Arial Narrow on any page I visit, with Liberation Sans Narrow...

I used to have a plug-in which did that. It was called Font Replacer, but it doesn't have a version for Firefox 12 and its developer removed its page :(

I really can't stand to see specific fonts on my screen. I really hate the indifferent CAPITAL I from the small l. I can't stand to see the numerals with Georgia.

I opened a new discussion as no one is interested to answer me here anymore. Thanks. So, now I find myself in a situation that I want exceptions for some rules. For example, I want to change the font Arial to Tahoma in all websites I visit, except for wikipedia.org, is that possible? Because I have a very long list of websites listed to change Arial to change to Tahoma, only because I don't want the rule to be applied to websites as wikipedia.org I searched, but I'm unable to find something helpful :(
