Anyone else notice big blocks of the text in the wiki look garbled using FF 3, or is it just me? I just downloaded it and the wiki is one of the first sites I tried.

Addendum: It's not just our wiki...several other MediaWiki sites do the same thing.

Which pages on the Wiki are you having problems with? I just had a quick browse around in FF3 and everything looks fine...

Just about all of them have the H# tags garbled. On the recent changes page there are random stretches of text garbled. (Not really random, because it's the same places every time I visit.)

It's not just MediaWiki sites either. I was browsing the CSS area of w3.org thinking to check out some of the new capabilities, and the H# tags are garbled there too. I don't know what's going on, but I may downgrade back to FF2 if I can't figure it out.

Everything seems fine for me... it must be something funky with the installation your end. Have you tried clearing FF's cache, etc?

Sounding like it is just me. I'll try to wrap up what I'm working on so I can close out of the browser fully and restart it.

OK, my bad ... my chosen font was evidently corrupted. Bad coincidence that it happened when installing FF3 but oh well.

It happens to me too, in both Windows and OS X. Pretty sure it's a bug in FF3.
