Hi Solara, did you uncheck the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"? Then your font choices should override what the web page author selected. (You might need to reload the page after making this change, for example, by pressing Ctrl+r.) This article has more background on the settings: Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages.

If your font is being used but the appearance is unsatisfactory for one reason or another, could you describe the problem in more detail? In some cases, when it is hard to describe in words, it's helpful to post a screen shot. This article has some tips on that: How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

Last but not least...

Could you check your actual Firefox version here:

The forum recorded version 12, which is obsolete and insecure, so if that is correct, you should update ASAP. If there is something holding you back from updating, what is it? There may be a solution.

If you do have the current version of Firefox, this article might help: How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.
