Random text characters not displaying correctly
Hello,
I'm using Firefox 29.0.1 and I'm having a problem with words displaying incorrectly on Facebook.

It's a strange problem with the fonts. As you can see in the screenshot, all the text characters should have the same style and font, but one of words is displaying incorrectly. I zoomed in to that word and you can see it's in bold??? In large paragraphs, there will be words like that all over the place and it's annoying... I tried reinstall FF, update my fonts, play with font settings in FF, but no luck...
