Ever since upgrading to Firefox 4, I have had an issue entering text into boxes or fields on certain websites (blog comments, message boards, etc.). This happens on a number of different sites. Screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/VSVLf408Qlsh

The strange part is that if I copy-paste what I have typed into another program like Word or TextEdit, everything appears fine. If I compose a message in those other programs and paste into the text field on Firefox, it looks like the screenshot above.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Checking with Font Book and getting rid of the problem fonts solved it. Thanks so much!
