firefox is not displaying some fonts
Since I upgraded my mac to the new imac and to OS 10.6 I have been having problems with fonts on Firefox. Most of them do not display. In fact, I am sending this message on Safari because Firefox only showed the login, not the ask new question page. I also get messages asking me if I want certain fonts to be used by Firefox on one of my partitions in an external drive. Every thing works fine on Safari.

I had the similar issues with fonts displaying very oddly. Fixed by cleaning my font caches (used Onyx). All good now. Hope this helps!
