FireFox font is unreadable and thin
Certain fonts are displayed not as what I set them to in Firefox's settings.
At first, I thought it was a windows OS font related issue- it's not.
I've followed everything here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1323130 (The answer support link is inaccessible. But following the answer did not fix my issue.)
Also looked to see if any of my add-ons are affecting it. I've disabled them on the sites (in the screenshot) but the fonts are still displayed as attached. Checked to see if the add-on uBLOCK is disabling remote fonts, that feature is not checked so that's not the issue.
Please help, thank you.

I FIXED IT!!! I believe it is MY fault for downloading this horrible font for photoshop designs and windows decided to use that font in whatever program it is...
msconfig restart pc to safe mode: minimal
start> run> fonts
delete font
msconfig restart in normal mode
done diddly doo

Additional information:
- I do not use Helvetica nor am using Roboto, I am currently using Inter font
- Attempted answer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1359312 , did not work
- I've disabled every theme, add-on, and extension (except the firefox necessary codec one) and still have the issue
- Attempted OP's https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/8jvdiq/light_fonts_are_rendered_too_thinly_they_are/ fix, did not work
- I have clear type on and adjusted on Windows 11 Pro
I cannot seem to run the font flash/java program because it is not supported and leads me to a dead adobe link

I'm on Windows 11 PRO and attempted to do it:
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.gamma set to my gamma data 2200
did not do anything
