Hi there, recently whenever I visit a website or search on google or another search engine jumbled up words are displaying. The words contain letters which are jumbled up so it is impossible to understand what the word says. I have attached a screenshot explaining my issue better. If you see in the screenshot the jumbled up words are shown in bold.

Please could you help fix this issue?

Kind regards,

Luke

You can check in Font Book for font issues like corrupted and duplicate fonts.

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in 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 Fonts 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.
