I haven't deleted any fonts that I know of ,
only did a little cleaning/tidying up but a lot
of websites have started to dispay in a very illegible
casual/handwriting typeface. See screenshot. I assume Firefox is substituting
the closest font to one thats missing.
Looked in 'page source' but can't figure
what font it is/whats missing.
Thanks !

Do you have this issue on any other sites besides eBay? It could just be the eBay seller using interesting fonts to jazz up his listing.

Yes its on some other 'serious' sites that wouldn't be using this
font- which I just found in my fonts folder- its 'Freestyle Script"

This problem is definately on this computer only.
The same sites display in a normal serif type like Times on other computers.
There is Times and Garamond and other fonts in my fonts folder.
All I did was run the register utility 'ccleaner'. What could be causing this problem of
an abnormal typeface being substituted in the browser for a common one ?
