firefox showing some chinese character as white space
Today, suddenly Firefox started showing some chinese characters as white space. I have used firefox for a long time and this issue occurred only today. This issue does not exist in chrome or internet explore, only firefox. The only thing I can think of that might caused the issue is that I installed the MS Gothic font today. I tried reinstalling firefox and restarting my computer and that did not help fix the issue. Please help, thank you.
EDIT:I downloaded the chinese version of firefox and everything is working fine now. I would still like to get a fix for the english version though if possible.

This could be a font problem. Maybe Firefox isn't using the same font for all the Chinese characters.
You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.
Note that this is not about the font-family CSS rule, but about the font that Firefox actually uses as shown in the Font tab.

Thank you very much! Using your method I checked and it seemed that the only font that works is Microsoft YeHei. I changed the font to that and now everything is displaying properly.
You're welcome.
