User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b5) Gecko/20091204 Firefox/3.6b5 Build Identifier: Fennec 1.0rc1 If a webpage has only a certain common font specified in the stylesheet like Tahoma and does not have generic fallback font like sans-serif specified, Fennec will use a generic serif font. Not that it only looks really ugly, it decreases readability of the webpage on a small screen. I suggest using a sans-serif typeface as the fallback font for Fennec due to the increased readability. Reproducible: Always
Is there an example website you can offer joppu ?
For example the site: http://www.facepunch.com/
