Hi! Since this week, the visualization of some fonts seems transferring in kind of Greek font, as in the screen capture. I checked the advances options concerning Firefox fonts. Everything seems basically configured and the option «Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above» is chequed. Firefox updated 108 System Mac OS 13.0.1 Thanks for help. G

This is usually caused by a problem with a specific font and you need to identify this font and fix this.

You can check in Font Book for font issues like corrupted and duplicate fonts. Note that you shouldn't disable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" as this will cause issues with iconic fonts used by webpages to display small icons (you may see text labels instead of icons).

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 Fonts 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.
