For some reason any webpage that does not have a font style listed in the HTML or CSS Firefox pulls from my font book a font that is not readable with lots of text instead of using the standard fonts set in my preferences, (Serif= Times, Sans-Serif = Helvetica, Monospace = Courier). I have tried deleting Firefox and reinstalling but I am still having the same problem. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

You can do a check for corrupted fonts and other font issues:

You can do a font test to see if you can identify the corrupted font.
