Accented latin letters incorrectly displaying as cyrillic letters

Hi, Firefox is displaying letters with accents (e.g. letters from Spanish words) incorrectly as Cyrillic letters. This makes a lot of webpages difficult to read. This does not seem to be happening all the time. Neither does it seem to happen in other apps other than Firefox. I have my preferred languages for displaying webpages in Firefox set as En-GB, en, es-es, in that order. Ditto for my wider system settings. In terms of my wider system keyboards I do have Russian installed, in order of preference this is gb > us > es > ru. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to ensure Spanish and other Latin letters display correctly?

For example, I'm experiencing this on this page: https://m.interglot.com/fr/en/%C3%A9tions but not on this page: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C3%A9tions with the accented e

The accented e is correctly displayed in my browser on the first page you mention. You could try starting in troubleshoot mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems

That is probably a problem with the font that is used. The page that isn't working uses font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; The Wikipedia page uses font-family: sans-serif;

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.
