    Firefox fonts suddenly "broken"


    After my wife did a Microsoft update this morning, she said that all the fonts in her Firefox browser now appear "broken," instead of "solid." I also noticed that the Windows buttons on the top right of the Firefox window also have some lines missing.

    There are no issues with fonts in Edge or Windows, or any Windows application.

    I tried to restore the Firefox profile from last night (last backup), but that didn't fix the issue. I played around with the font selection settings, but was unable to change from the default font to any other.

    A Google search didn't turn up anything useful.

    Any suggestions?

    :)

  3. Fonts suddenly all bold in Word and Firefox

    Last week, suddenly some of the fonts on my laptop started appearing bold. I first noticed it in Firefox on certain websites (not all). It was annoying, but otherwise, didn't affect my work.

    Today, I created a new document in Word (I have Office Professional Plus 2010) and my fonts appear all bold even though they actually aren't. If you turn bold on, it looks the same as the default. It appears to be happening with only Times New Roman which
    is what I tend to use as a default font. Other fonts are okay.

    I haven't installed any new software but I do remember Windows doing an automatic update right before this happened.

    What do I need to do to fix this?
