Ever since the last Firefox upgrade installed, when I go to Wikipedia most, but not all, of the links and titles (books, movies, songs, etc.)are in something that looks like Zapf Chancery font. It is very difficult to read... how do i change it?

It never looked like that before. The cursive font shows up on every page of wikipedia, only when I use Firefox as my browser. I have gone to the same site on Safari and it is fine there. I have emptied my cache to no avail.

Please try this: Tools (or Alt + T> Options > Content. Under Fonts & Colors click Advanced and for the entry Proportional choose Sans Serif.

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. Tried this, although maybe on a Mac it is different.... had to go into Preferences under Firefox to find Content and then Advanced. Didn't work though... still have the font issue. Am attaching (I hope) a screen shot of part of the page.

Thanks for your help. I followed your link to a similar question/reply and just decided to deactivate the Zapfino font. It fixed that part of the problem but there is still some smaller type in a different cursive font (Apple Chancery like but that's not it). Can't figure out what it is in order to disable it but i think I can at least live with that one.
