All fonts are in bold with the newest update, how do I change that?
When we installed the latest update, all web pages now have bold font type. Using the Tools and then Options I saw that there were settings that could be changed, but none to turn off the bold. Even if I have the box checked off to allow web pages to choose their own fonts, it remains bold. This is making it hard to know which e-mails have been opened in my yahoo mail account.

You may have a corrupted or missing default font.
Disable the website fonts as a test and try a few different default (serif/sans-serif) fonts.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced ([ ] Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above)
If that works then you need to reinstall the corrupted font.
thats right, you need to install a good Arial font, you can get it here: http://web.nickshanks.com/fonts/microsoft-core-web-fonts get the arial32.exe and run as administrator or use 7-zip to extract the fonts and copy then to c:\windows\fonts
I tried that and it still didn't work. There was a drop down menu to choose your operating system, Windows 7 was not included in the list. So I couldn't get it to work. I had not installed any new fonts before this, nor did I have trouble before with the font, why would the font be corrupted now? We didn't have this problem until we updated Mozilla Firefox, so there seems to be some kind of compatibility problem between the two.
Our old computer still has Windows XP and it has not had this same problem.
When I tried using another browser there was nothing wrong with the font. It must have something to do with Mozilla Firefox and it's most recent update.
The fonts in Firefox all of a sudden became all BOLD. It's only in Firefox - in other browsers and on desktop the fonts are fine. I tried reinstalling core fonts and reinstalling Firefox, removed all settings and preferences - the fonts in Firefox are still bold.

FIXED!
I reinstalled fonts again! I don't know which one did it - I reinstalled Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, and Arial Black
I've run into this after upgrade to FF5. But happens only sometimes on some websites.
I have this problem on my Win 7 x64 machine but not on my Win 7 x86 machine (same addons, etc. on both). Reinstalling the fonts has not solved the problem. I've had the problem since FF4; upgrading to FF5 and then to FF6 made no difference.
Reinstalling FF3.6 fixes the problem...
Given that there's no problem with 3.6, and there are no corrupt/missing default fonts on my system, it looks like a bug with newer releases of firefox. Anyone know if there's an open bug report on it? Is it purely a problem for people running a 64-bit OS?
How do you reinstall the fonts? Do you mean on your computer, or on Firefox?
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
You can try different default fonts and disable website fonts as a test.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
- [ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for selected text.
No corrupted fonts. No "options" option in my Tools menu.
I have a Mac.
On Mac, try Firefox > Preferences instead of Tools > Options.
That was helpful. Thanks.
On Mac you can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
