Firefox 7.0.1 seems to randomly be replacing some general site text and any textarea contents with "toms handwritten regular" font on 2 of our macs.

I have inspected with firebug etc and there is definitely no font specified but the page default.

any help would be appreciated

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:

I checked all involved fonts and no issues, does seem to be an isolated firefox problem

What happens if you remove or disable the font that Firefox uses?

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
