Fonts not displaying properly
When i open certain websites, the font is displayed cryptically (see picture).It doesn't always affect the whole website, just some texts on the side. I found a workaround by disallowing websites from using their own fonts in the settings. But neither a new installation of firefox nor resetting the settings, caches an cookies, etc. helped, or disabbeling the firewall etc.. In other browsers or when i log in my account on other PC´s everything is displayed properly.

It seems that the system with the problem is lacking a font or fonts. Select an element with the issue, right-click it and select Inspect. Check the tab in the right panel of the Inspector labelled 'Fonts' to see what fonts are selected. Install the font(s) missing on your system.

Have you enabled the preference resistFingerprinting as that causes problems?

This started happening back in April and now it is constant. I'm on a Apple 16" MBP with M1 chip. It happened only with AOL webmail, and recently also in my Gmail and a few websites. I've tried solutions offered in this thread and nothing has changed.
It doesn't happen in Chrome or Safari.
This is really getting under my skin especially as FireFox is my primary preferred browser.
Please advise.
Thx team. Mikal
