Hi Guys

I have found a FireFox 3 bug. 

For all this time having "tahoma", arial, helvetica, sans-serif; in my CSS worked fine. After upgrading to FireFox 3 it sets the font to BOLD. Setting a font-weight: normal; does not help. This only happens in FireFox – all other browsers are immune to this problem.

Please could somebody fix this for me? 

Thanks

I have this issue too, and I have also seen it in PCs with FireFox 2 in windows Vista.

ALso happens with the Lucida family fonts
