20 Have a look at the inspector (right-click the offending item, press q). I
21 don't know whether FX 38 already had that, it's so hard to keep track
22 noawadays with the ongoing version number inflation. On the right-hand side
23 of the inspector there should be a Fonts tab which should show you a preview
24 of the font being used.

26 Did you always have this problem or is it new with this version of Firefox?
