Attachment: screenshots.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0
Build ID: 20121024073032

Steps to reproduce:

I open these urls:
http://www.slideshare.net/ganaaturuu/cygwinandopen-sslinstallguide
http://elpaiscomite.blogspot.com.es/2012/10/los-trabajadores-de-el-pais-mandan-una_28.html



Actual results:

The font is very bad rendered. I think it has to do with the fonts that Adobe CS5 install on the system. I don't have this bug in Firefox under Linux because I do not have this font installed.
If you use firebug to change the font the page renders ok. In the attached zip you can find three screenshots. In capture_mal.png and capture_ok.png you can see how the slideshare page renders when using one font or another


Expected results:

The font should render properly.

On my machine, I don't have Adobe's fonts and all is rendered as expected.
