I'm using Firefox version 3.6.6 on Windows 7 Enterprise (x64).

The font issues I am having do not occur on Internet Explorer.

I'm not sure what the problem is, as reinstalling does not remedy the situation.

The best I can describe it is that some fonts appear as unreadable gibberish; even the Mozilla Ask-A-Question Form had issues with my browser.

This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size. Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead. You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.

Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem. ..... See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_fonts#Gibberish See also /forum/1/566006
