A days ago, the fonts of some sites like Wikipedia and Yahoo become strange. I have no idea why and I have not changed the font settings.

I've tried running without add-ons, incognito mode and reinstall Firefox. Non solved the problem.

Changes have affected Google Chrome and Firefox but IE wasn't not affected.

Hello,

Try reset the Firefox or create a new profile:

Thank you. I followed the manuals, but did not solve the problem.

This might be caused by a recent change of the CSS rules on the Wikipedia website. 

html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif}

So you might be seeing a different font depending on what is installed on the computer.

Deleting font family Helvetica, worked. The formatting of the text was normalized, but I need these fonts, I can not delete them, besides being an "ugly" solution.

Have any proposed solution to this problem?
