Steps to reproduce:

When we uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox.

Actual results:

When we uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, the fonts looked fine. When I turned my computer off and then back on, some of the fonts still look garbled, like the words are mis-spelled.

Expected results:

Fixed the font problem!

If you go to about:config and find the setting gfx.webrender.force-disabled, and toggle its value to true (it should be false by default), and then restart Firefox, does the problem still happen?

Also, could you please try running the latest Nightly version (see https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/desktop/#nightly), and see if the problem still occurs?
