This can happen if you have increased the default minimum font size or otherwise do not allow websites to specify their own fonts. You can also check the Zoom setting and make sure that Zoom Text Only doesn't have a checkmark. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
- View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))

If you have made changes to Advanced font size settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the Default font size setting "16" and the Minimum font size setting "none" in case the current setting is causing the problem.
- Options/Preferences -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Advanced -> Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not getting displayed properly.
You can look at Zoom Page WE and NoSquint Plus extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
