Some webpage fonts are messed up after installing new fonts

I've copied all of my fonts over into my .fonts folder, and since then some random fonts on webpages are messed up. Did I mess up a default font somehow? My default font on Namoroka is Serf size 16.
Example: http://i.imgur.com/jNMpd.png
Notice how the Twitter/Facebook/FeedBurner headings and descriptions are all small and cramped up looking.

Thanks!

Might I recommend you do the following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Fonts. This will provide you will the defaults and how to change the font configuration.
Hope this helps.

See which fonts firefox is using:

lsof | grep -i firefox | egrep -i 'ttf|pfb'

Close down firefox, then open it and navigate directly to the page you're interested in, first.

Some webpages, unfortunately, like to horizontally compress fonts, which can result in them looking horrible.
