Try disabling hardware acceleration to see if that makes a difference.

Options > Advanced > Untick: Use hardware acceleration when available > Restart Firefox

If none of those work, make sure you're not zoomed in/out of the page at all (view is set to 100%) and then try a new FF profile: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Managing+profiles

Alternatively, switch to a more stable browser ;)

He had the problem in Chrome as well :P

Did he fix it? I just remembered I had this sort of problem when I installed Helvetica or something from a Mac on my Windows PC.

Yes it's gone, I tried everything i could think of, reset all the fonts as well nothing sorted it. don't know what happened but I formatted last night. Martin; wouldn't close this thread though.
