The problem does not occur on my laptop so I checked the fontlist and found that the Helvetica font was not installed. So I went back to my desktop and checked the Helvetica font on the control panel. I found that the swedish letters could not be shown so I deleted the Helvetca fonts on my desktop. Problem solved on the Handelsbanken site. Hope that my action will not create new problems.

This could be a problem with a corrupted or otherwise not working Helvetica font.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

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.

Thanks cor-el for a swift respons, However I don't know enough to interpret the inspector. I made a screenshot. Would you consider checking it for me? Regards Björn

I forgot to mention that the problem only occurs in Firefox. Google Chrome and MS Edge do not have this issue. Regards, Björn
