For some reason the system fonts in browsers on some sites appear strangely. I can't figure out how to correct that.
Here is a screenshot
anyway to replace that?

I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago

Did you restart? One time my PC did this and just restarted and everything was fine. I nearly had a heart attack about it though.
Hopefully it's not a huge issue...

in IE it's the same

try this combo: CTRL+0. what happens?

It has nothing to do with the text size

well then... i dunno. If you have FF installed, some add-ons may change the in-built CSS for certain fonts. That has been reported. I know there's a font-cache somewhere for some systems that can be cleared but never got into it. I think you better google until you hit something relevant.

on a Mac i'd guess a corrupt font cache and suggest a font cache cleaner.. not sure if its the same with PCs... ?

what site was it, btw?

"The Windows operating system has a font cache file that is located here:
C:\Windows\System32\FNTCACHE.DAT
Delete this file, and restart your system. A new FNTCACHE.DAT file will be created on startup."from here: http://www.ascendercorp.com/font…

- ok. that's all styled as arial so it's definitely not from your system fonts.Corvo
