Thanks Hartmut. I went in there and mines was set to firefox default<br>
which appears to be Bitstream Vera. I changed it to Liberation and now<br>
my minimal html page looks fine again.<br>
<br>
I wonder why Vera would look all messed up in firefox? My rpm logs<br>
show Vera was last updated Jan 1, which is like 4 reboots ago (lots of<br>
power outages lately), so that rpm is not the likely culprit.<br>
<br>
The web forum textarea I mentioned still looks horrid, as its css is<br>
specifying DejaVu Sans Mono, and my system does indeed have that font;<br>
or maybe it's ignoring that and using the font css, not font family.<br>
<br>
The firefox webdev inspector lets me see what css was selected for the<br>
final font-family and font choices, but it still shows the list for<br>
each. Is there a way to see what font the browser actually chose from<br>
the list? I know it'll go through each one from first to last until it<br>
finds one you have installed. But how can you tell which one it<br>
settled on?<br>
<br>
The most annoying part isn't the font per se, it's that it's messing up<br>
the line heights, space between characters and underlines, font<br>
thickness/color, and the numbers appear to be from a completely<br>
different font (but maybe same family) from the letters!<br>
<br>
I can't just point firefox bug report page to the forum because the<br>
textarea form is on a logged-in-only page.<br>
