I was using Hummingbird Exceed to run the Oracle 9.2.0.2 Database Upgrade
Assistant. Various fonts in my browser were displayed incorrectly, for example,
Old English instead of Bold at
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?&product=Firebird&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=WONTFIX&resolution=---
The fonts display correctly if I quit Hummingbird Exceed and refresh the page
the fonts display correctly. If I restart Exceed and refresh, the fonts display
incorrectly.
I reproduced the problem in Mozilla 1.5b

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?&product=Firebird&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=RESOLVED&resolution=WONTFIX&resolution=---
2. Start Hummingbird Exceed
3. Refresh page

Actual Results:  
fonts change in browser

Expected Results:  
kept original fonts

Severity: Annoying behavior that diminishes the browser experience.

Problem went away when workstation crashed, and I rebooted. Could be, there are
other conditions required to generate this behavior.
