I run Win98SE and Firefox 0.8 for general browsing and Opera for email. I like Firefox's no-nonsense speed, etc.
For some reason, some text when browsing websites is now in Italics and I can't figure out how to turn that off. My daughter installed Yahoo's Instant Messenger/Chat crap and a Creative WebCam about 6 weeks ago. The Italics problem did not crop up until yesterday, so I don't think that is the problem. I only un-installed a couple games recently and did not install anything else. I always use either the game's uninstaller or Windows uninstall through Control Panel, etc.
How do I re-set Firefox to display all text as it was intended when a web page loads and displays?
Thanks

Very annoying! It just happened and I can't figure out why.

Figured it out. My Verdana font file was corrupted.
I went into my font folder, deleted the Verdana font (which read 0KB in file size), then restarted the computer. Then I downloaded a new copy of Verdana from here:
http://simplythebest.net/fonts/fonts/fo ... rdan32.exe
Installed this font (which now reads 137KB), then restarted my computer.
Everything is back to normal.
