Text is a jumbled assortment of all different fonts on some sites

I just upgraded my MAC to LION - OS-10.7.2. When I go to certain websites the text is a jumbled assortment of random font styles. Wikipedia is one and I have another sample where most of the text is okay but parts of the page text is the mixture of different fonts. This happens only with a few sites so far. Most come up as normal. I've checked all the Fire fox settings and everything seems okay. I've also tested the same pages on other browsers and they are displayed normally. I also updated to the latest Firefox version and the jumbled fonts are still there.

The issue wasn't exactly the same as the samples shown. In my case each word or phrase was literally a different font style. It looked like Safari randomly selected from my font list and made each word a different font. The suggestions did help though and I changed the default font from Helvetica to Myriad Web Pro. All is Well. Thanks!
