Bold characters rendering improperly
Using Firefox 69.0 on Linux Mint 18.3 - up to date.
The first screenshot illustrates it better than I could explain it. On various websites, the bold characters are not correctly displayed : it's just the outline. Screenshot 2 just shows how it should probably be displayed (and how it's actually displayed in chrome, for example). I've had the same problem in lots of other web pages and since quite some time (and a few different versions of Firefox). I'm not sure what's wrong...
Thanks

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.

Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar. Across from fonts and colors, press the Advanced button. On the bottom, turn on Allow Web Sites To Choose Their Own.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

I downloaded and installed HelveticaNeue and it's working just fine now. Thanks.
I'm not sure why it wasn't working though. As I said, chromium had no problem, and I had the option "Allow Web Sites To Choose Their Own..." turned on, as FredMcD suggested (and it didn't work better using Safe Mode).
Anyway, thanks again for the answers.
