With TB 91 (I think it started with TB 79 possibly, but I upgraded to 91 within a day) there is a bug with some of the fonts: the font which is used for the Tab names replaces the lower case x by " and does not show y and z (e.g. Inbo" everywhere !). This same problem appears in many places, so the word Mozilla itself appears as Moilla (when asking for the password), the subject fields are missing y and z and show " instead of x .... ! No problem with Uppercase X Y Z.

Interestingly enough, no such bug when using the debug mode (which may use different fonts, definitely bigger fonts ?)

Any idea of why ? Any solution ?

Thank you,

Alain

If it doesn't happen in debug mode, which I assume is safe/troubleshoot mode, try launching in safe mode, check 'Reset toolbars & controls', 'Make changes & restart'. If that doesn't help, disable hardware acceleration in Preferences/General/Indexing, restart TB, and see if that makes a difference.

Maybe clear the OS X font cache?

One clue added: It also happens in the Search fields and in the body of some messages, including in the message that I compose.

All very very annoying (I cannot search on a name with x, y or z !)
