1297958 2012-08-30 10:58:00 Just installed Firefox 15 update and now the forum and Google and maybe some other things are showing in Times New Roman instead of whatever they were previously - except I don't know what that was!

Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

This one running on Windows 7

1297959 2012-08-30 11:14:00 I think the default is Times Roman 16. Thats what mine is on. And it's always been on this. I've never changed it. This is in Win7 as well Speedy Gonzales (78)
1297960 2012-08-30 11:14:00 Hasn't changed here, I have Arial set as my default in Firefox KarameaDave (15222)
1297961 2012-08-30 11:17:00 Here some instructions on how to changed the fonts: www.ehow.com The defaults on ours, 14.0 are Times New Roman 16 wainuitech (129)
1297962 2012-08-31 03:23:00 Default for mine is Times New Roman 16pt too but Google and PressF1 etc never used to actually display in Times New Roman. Agent_24 (57)
1297963 2012-09-01 03:25:00 Is this setting correct?: In Edit, Preferences, on the Content tab on "Fonts and Colors" click on the Advanced button and in the next dialog make sure "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" is checked. I'm using a Linux version of Firefox 15 so may not be exactly the same. The update to Firefox 15 for me hasn't changed anything to do with the fonts that I've noticed so far. Rod J (451)

Yeah it's checked. Weird

1297965 2012-09-02 13:31:00 Most websites have the fonts set in style sheets, so the font set as a default will only be used if no font is given, or the chosen font is not available in the viewers computer. ie: a popular font is "calibra" used by Vista and W7. If you have XP the calibra font will be displayed as the default Browser font, usually Times Roman. mzee (3324)
1297966 2012-09-02 14:40:00 Well all I know is I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, didn't change anything myself and suddenly the fonts had changed from 1 minute to the next. Agent_24 (57)
