I installed Firefox 4 this morning excited to checkout some of the new HTML 5 features that have been implemented and found that all text was displayed in a bold font. Here is the comparison with what Firefox 4 is displaying on my machine and Chrome.

It is getting really annoying. So far I've...

  • Emptied the cache/history/etc.
  • Re-installed the various core fonts (Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, etc.)
  • Checked the font defaults in FF4.

The interesting part to me is that I had FF3.6x on this machine with no problems whatsoever and now this. Any ideas?

System Description

  • Windows 7 (x64)

Update

I just found out that this is happening in IE9 (final) as well. Must be something with the system fonts. Like I said before, this wasn't happening pre-FF4.
