I can't fix my fonts
For some unknown reason, my default fonts are not appearing correctly in Firefox. Here are the things I've tried:
1. I've checked the same sites with Edge and Chrome. 2. I checked the "Fonts and Colors" section of Firefox - both the regular and Advanced parts. 3. I've done the Firefox reset (I can't remember what it's actually called). 4. I've uninstalled/reinstalled. 5. I've deleted the Mozilla folder from my %AppData% folder. 6. I've signed out and uninstalled/reinstalled. 7. I've disabled all extensions and plugins. 8. I've made sure I have the newest version.
The only time it works correctly is when I run Firefox in Troubleshooting mode.

Some of the headline differences between regular and troubleshooting modes are:
- Disables all extensions
- Disables userChrome.css and userContent.css files
- Disables hardware acceleration of graphics -- this also affects font smoothing. To test disabling hardware acceleration, see Firefox's performance settings.
- Disables some or all JavaScript compilers
- Disables the shared font list (helps with crashes on Arch Linux and some other platforms)
Regarding that last point, you can test whether that is relevant with this change:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste gfx.e10s.font-list.shared and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the preference to switch the value from true to false
I suspect that won't take effect until the next time you quit and restart Firefox.

I disabled the shared font list and it did the trick! Thanks so much for your help!
