Because of some screwy page, I ended up downloading the Windows language packs for the East Asian languages to try to make my viewing of them better. Before this, I had already installed the font Bitstream Cyberbit, which supports all these fonts. Now, pages will randomly display either the windows font, or Bitstream Cyberbit, and I seem to have no control over which. More often, it's the windows font.

I think the windows font is totally hideous when it comes to reading, so I'm wondering: is there any way to get my browser to do everything in Bitstream Cyberbit again?

Perhaps delete the Windows font files?

Any ideas on what they are? I went into Firefox Options and never saw them listed once, only Bitstream Cyberbit.

Nope, sorry. :/

Well, I managed to find and delete the font which supposedly "fixed" it. This seems a little extreme. Does anyone know of a way that will let me select which font I see things as? I would have thought the character encoding options in Firefox would do it, but even though everything is set to Bitstream Cyberbit, when I have the other font installed, that's what I see.

Did you set the encoding options/fonts for the other languages? Ah, I guess that really wouldn't do it. Maybe disable allowing websites to use their own fonts instead of the ones you specified?

Hmm, no idea what the problem was before, but in setting up XP to take other keyboard input, I ended up installing more fonts off my OS CD, and now changing my encoding settings in Firefox works.
