Articles on http://huffingtonpost.com/ have link text that is missized and overlaps with normal text. The result is unreadable.
Zooming in and out fixes the text sizes.

While investigating the crashes I stumbled over this as well (I guess). Just as a data point: setting "browser.display.use_document_fonts" to "0" helped in all those cases...

Setting gfx.downloadable_fonts.fallback_delay to 300000 prevents this from happening to me. Sounds like we may have ourselves a dup of #8455 here..

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/james-clapper-says-he-misspoke-didnt-lie-about-nsa-surveillance/ is a great example for this issue (tested with 4.0a2).

Works for me with 6.0a2.

I reproduced this. Disabling our font limits allows the text to render properly.
It's interesting that zoom also fixes it. I wonder if we just need to schedule a CSS reflow after we begin limiting fonts, or if this is due to the fallback fonts that get used while web-fonts load (#8455).
I would say this is a pretty damn serious usability issue.. Certainly not something that should be ignored forever. Unfortunately, it will probably require me to understand even more deep magic about CSS rendering behaviors to fix :/.
