All the fonts in Mozilla are set to Courier New (just for testing purposes) but look at the screenshot of this page, almost ALL of the text is being displayed in the Gnome setting (Myriad). Firefox 1.5 didn't have this problem.

Areas where Courier New _is_ being display:
   In <textarea>'s, but not <input>'s.
   In the text below the mozilla header, ie, the text that says "Enter a bug"
   View source
   
Where is it not being displayed (and myriad is being used):
   everywhere else

Because pages insists on using myriad as a font, which is non standard, the browsing expereince is bad because things don't look the same between browsers, and it makes page design impossible.

Ubuntu Edgy Eft, fully updated.

Reproducible: Always
Does it work if you uncheck the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts..." checkbox in that dialog?
