The fonts look fine on my browser. Right-click a section of the page which isn't displaying well and select Inspect. In the pane on the right select the tab Fonts and see what fonts are in use.

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.

Hej Terry thanks for the answer I have used the Font part before I enclose a screendump of the result

This time I also tried the browser console, which seems to have some errors Maybe that can give you a clue ?

You should know that before I wrote to you(firefox support), I purged the firefox program and all settings, to get a completely "new" firefox

The first screenshot doesn't show what font is used in your case since you scrolled down. Usually it is better to check the Web Console since that concentrates on the current tab, but what I see in the last two screenshots doesn't look related.

Hi Cor-El thank U for your reply

enclosed please find a new screenshot with all fonts used I tried to view the font in the Font Manager program an all except 1 showed english text However the font Noto Traditional Nushu gives me a japanese "text", which can be seen in the bottom of the screenshot

Is that the problem ? If so, what do I do ? Should I try to copy Arial regular into Noto Traditional Nushu ? Kind regards
