The title says it all. When I was running Win10, things were fine. I then did a clean install of Win11, and loaded Firefox. zero changing of settings. I do a simple test by going to an entry on Wikipedia, and I noticed all the uses of italic font were very small. This didn't happen a half hour earlier with Win10. Enclosed as an image is a sample screenshot.

Hi, can you check what font Firefox is using for the various parts of text on that page? With Firefox 93 on Windows 10, the default sans-serif font is Arial, but that might differ on Windows 11. To investigate that, right-click the problem text and choose Inspect (Q).

Firefox should open the Developer Tools panel to the Page Inspector, and highlight that paragraph in the HTML "tree".

On the right side will be one or more panels of information about the highlighted element. Switch to the Fonts panel, which may require using a little triangle at the end of the row after Layout Computed Changes. Please see the attached screenshot.

What font does your Firefox show as being used for those lines?
