Yeah...I have recently encounter a problem in which when I open firefox I get bold front on most pages. Including the post here. I switched to chrome and noticed that I had the same type of error in which everything was in italics. Which must mean my fonts must be corrupted on my computer and Firefox and chrome were accessing them. I manually reinstalled my font and download a new font set for aria,times new roman ect.. I still had the same problem. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this. I am using windows 7 with firefox version 3.5.6. It's pretty annoying and I am now dual booting my computer with linux so I can read the pages normally.


This is probably in the wrong area but I have never really learned where to put threads >.>

I think i know what your talking about. Simply hold Ctrl and then scroll your mouse wheel:

Scroll up= smaller font

Scroll down= bigger font

Am i wonderful or what?

No, that only makes fonts bigger or smaller.

No, because that doesn't solve his problem.

Windows 7 is still very new, and when millions of people start using it, errors that were never found in test appear, and this may be one. Report it to Microsoft, because my guess is that it's their fault, and not AG's. otherwise (If it annoys you so badly) uninstall and reinstall Windows 7.

But I would try Grahams way first.
