Smart computer use? Maybe, maybe not.

My font type changes in Gmail, weird.

I’ve recently run into an issue with Gmail (only on one of my computers) where the font type changes after I click any link in Gmail after viewing my inbox.

When I load my inbox initially, I see this style of font, the standard Arial Gmail font at it’s normal size:

But, after I click on anything… viewing a message, archives or anything else, the font style changes to what looks like Tahoma:

As I mentioned this only happens on one computer, in FireFox. I’m not sure what is causing this. I’ve cleared my cache a few times, tried messing with FireFox font style settings, and also restarting my computer. No luck yet.

Hopefully I figure this out before it drives me nuts… Any input would be appreciated if you happen to run across this blog post and happen to know what I am running into here. But that occurence would be a great coincidence, right?

    I’ve got the exact same problem. I can’t help, unless it helps to know you are not alone…

    I knew I couldn’t be the only one. It does actually calm me down about the issue a little, thanks Marius!

    I’ve gotten quite used to the font size changes at this point, obliviousness is a good thing in this case for me. At least it’s only on one of my computers.
