Unless you use this Helvetica font in other applications then best is to remove this font. We have regularly seen issues reported that were caused by Helvetica fonts.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer) with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector. Set devtools.fontinspector.enabled to true on the about:config page to enable the Font tab.


It is possible that there is a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

Except Delete "HelveticaNeue 75 Bold Outline.otf"... :)
