Firefox's Fonts got BOLD

[mathrisk]

I am facing a weird problem with my Firefox. I was out for few days and my friends used my PC. Dunno what they have did, what they installed/updated, now I having most of the fonts in Firefox in BOLD face. It looks like this

It's really annoying to see things like this. Its not a bigger font. Ctrl+ - (minus) make the font smaller, but still they are bold only. Ctrl+0 does nothing.
See my settings. I guess these are also default only.

Tried changing the theme. Didn't worked.
FF version is v3.0.11, released June 11, 2009.
Addons installed are Greasemonkey, Xmarks, DTA, Fireshot and DataFox(for BSNL data tracking).

Any help to make this thing normal?

TIA

Did you check font settings in FireFox?

Do this, go to : Tools > Options > Content

On the Content tab, click on Advanced button within Fonts & Colors box.

Check if any bold fonts have been selected in any of the drop-downs. Namely, Serifs, San-serifs and Monospace drop-downs.

Also, check that Fonts For: drop-down has Western selected with Default Character Encoding: set to Western (ISO-8859-1). Make sure that checkbox called Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selection above is checked/ticked.

Do report if that doesn't work out for you.

The arial.ttf was having some problem.

when I reinstalled the font, the problem gone.
