[Solved] Strange font problem - after update.

Hello guys,

encountered a strange small font problem on sites with code wrappers like stackoverflow/blogs/jsfiddle. After update. took a look at my font setup all looks good.
I've also checked the settings for gtk2/3 and no problems there.

INFO:

Google-Chrome-Beta. [same thing]
Firefox [same thing]

/etc/vconsole.conf ->
KEYMAP=sv-latin1
FONT=ter-112n


.gtkrc-2.0->

gtk-theme-name="Clearlooks"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Faience"
gtk-font-name="Tewi 9"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Adwaita"
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_LARGE_TOOLBAR
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=0
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=0
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle="hintfull"
gtk-xft-rgba="none"

/gtk-3.0/settings.ini->
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks
gtk-icon-theme-name=Faience
gtk-font-name=Tewi 9

Any ideas on this problem would be greatfully appreciated.

Re: [Solved] Strange font problem - after update.

The only way i can make it readable is by going into font/content settings for the browser and make the size very large or make the zoom to 200%
both of them makes the whole site look huge but then you can read the code wrappers/ pre etc. took a look at font dpi also X's DPI also in the
xorg config. from reading other threads there has been a mentioning of adding the dpi in Xresources and even xorg conf.

would be so glad, for a hint on the right direction to follow.

Thanks,

Re: [Solved] Strange font problem - after update.

Update:
Tried reinstalling, change the fonts, remove all font clear the cache.
change, look up the settings, looked up size, tried monitor dpi.
checked all the config files for anything remotely related to this problem.
Had a quick look at the bug tracker for google-chrome-beta as well no reported
font problems as far as i can find.

Update2:
Tried adding custom.css to the browser not even that worked.

update3: [SOLVED]
So i solved the problem.
The problem was a faulty font that was stuck and used in the pre somehow.
Removed and added another to the list and somehow that worked.
recommendations - if anyone has this problem in the future.
open firefox and look in the font tab what is used. and remove that
or try to install a fixed one. that should work.

-Nothing has yielded any working results.

So any ideas at this point would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
-L
