Internet settings

I am new to ubuntu 9.04 and am having some annoying issues with Firefox 3.5.3. On many of the websites that I visit regularly, the text is squished together and many of the words are layered on top of each other, making it difficult to read. Is there a setting within Firefox that I am missing or something that I need to add within the package manager? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

You likely need to install the msttcorefonts package. Many websites are designed to display fonts that are packaged with Windows but not Linux; this package makes things look much better.

Try this:

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
sudo fc-cache -fv

I installed the msttcorefonts package and nothing changed. The same websites are still having issues. It is really strange - words overlap on top of each other and I cannot read some sentences on the sites. Maybe something else might work?

Can you downgrade your Firefox to some older version like Firefox 3.0.13. You can use Synaptic Pacakage Manager

Are you perhaps just zoomed in? Try hitting Ctrl + 0 (that's a Zero, not an Oh) to reset your FF zoom level.
