Fonts in Firefox suddenly look rubbish?

After a recent update (sometime in the past week I think) the fonts in Firefox look rubbish on certain websites (e.g. eBay)

I remember I had this problem before but I can't remember how to fix it...

I have ttf-ms-fonts installed and I think the problem was a configuration file that was substituting the wrong fonts or something to that effect.

Did you already try this?

Another option: Did you remove fonts? A look into the pacman log file could clarify this.

I tried that but it didn't make any difference.

It looks to me like bad kerning. Also some of the letters are too short or tall compared to other letters.

The e & c in "Second" are too close. Probably your DPI is wrong.
