Do not take argument from the Comment # 6... I make a mistake : it is a wrong image.. the right one is Comment # 8.. as you can see ! Thanks for your attention It is the first time I "TRY" to make a good bug report ! Excusez moi pour cette erreur.....
This sounds a lot like bug 455243. Reporter, do you have multiple versions of 'Times' installed, or additional font-faces for 'Times' ? You can use FontBook.app to check this out.

John, do you have any idea what is going on here ? Based on comment 3 to comment 9, I though this bug was the same as bug 455243. But seeing comment 13, I'm not sure anymore.
It might be but I'm not at all sure. We definitely need a reproducible testcase to figure this out. Michel, can you attach a testcase page that shows the problem on your machine with FF 3 but not FF2. Set the type to text/html. If the encoding of the page is *not* UTF-8 (the default for bugzilla pages), enter the type manually and include the charset: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 If this only occurs on Michel's machine, I can set up a logging build and include instructions on how to use that.

As reply to Comment Comment #16 from John Daggett Thanks for his attention and definition of this test Mac Os 10.5.6 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac Os X 10.5; fr; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120121 Firefox/3.0.5 defaut font = Times 16 OTHER TEST...as you wish....With ONE page that YOU choose ? Were I can take this SECOND test page ?
The SPIP server doesn't send any Charset header, it is up to Gecko's heuristics. (both Firefox/Minefield and Camino detect the page as iso-8859-1 here). Michel, does this linked page display correctly on your side ?
As reply to Comment #23 From philippe 2008-12-29 00:54:12 PST problem is GONE... But,between my last message (354663) and seing YOUR page with MY settings in FF305, I go to "Livre des polices" and disconnected polices that i do not (seriously) need .....(number of police fall about 50% of previous used) Why the gremlins goes out ? I apologise for my bad english.. SORRY
Michel, could you try something? Could you reenable the "Phonetic Alternate" and "Phonetic IPA" faces of Times, then restart Firefox and test your pages again? If you see "gremlins", then I'm fairly certain this bug is a duplicate of bug 455243. Another way to figure out where your gremlins come from is to use FontBook. If you reenable all the fonts you disabled such that you run into problems again, you can find the font for a given glyph by looking it up in FontBook. 1. Pick a specific letter that renders strangely (e.g. 'T') 2. Open FontBook 3. Edit > Special Characters... 4. In the popup menu, choose 'Code Tables' 5. Click on 'Basic Latin' 6. Click on the character that renders strangely (e.g. 'T' is 0054) Result: FontBook displays all the fonts containing a glyph for 'T' and what they look like. You should be able to determine which face is being used based on that.
