After starting Mozilla FireFox application I try to open pages. Some of those pages show messed up fonts (Letters looks empty with border). After reinstalling default system font "Tahoma" into Windows Fonts directory and refreshing page they looks correctly. After restart of computer procedure repeats. How does it looks: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/4659/ffoxfont.png

You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.

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