When using OS X Lion, the <em> tag renders text using a chancery style font instead of simply italicizing the text. Attached is a test case and a screen shot.

My default font is Times at size 13, fwiw.

What's the build ID of the build you're using?

Comment 4

Added info:

This happens in a fresh profile as well as my usual one.
Happens on both my MacBook Air and my iMac.

Happens anywhere that uses <em>, including devmo.

This has been happening on every build I've tried for the past week, including the current one I'm using (7.0a2 (2011-07-06)).

False alarm; apparently the Lion installer installed a dupe of Times that was causing problems. All's well now. Disregard.

Actually, reopening, as this could be a support issue we should look into coping with better than having things go all funky on people if possible.

An OS installer that installs a corrupt font is clearly not a Firefox bug, I don't think we should keep this open unless this is happening across a large number of installs.  If you can reproduce this consistently, file a bug with Apple and mark the bug with the Radar number.

Not a Firefox bug.
