Hi Nick and all,
I'm back to reality: indeed it is a CASTELLAR (as MS-Word says) and
indeed ... the general font setting in FF did do the trick. Now it's a
good Garamond again.
I guess the Castellar someway has been the default since I installed FF,
never made a change (& no joker around ;-) ). And it seems I was never
at a website which was falling back to the default serif, so therefore I
didn't remark before, nor (stupid) I did check the preferences...
So happy ending and learned again: check-check-check (not only the
validators)! :-)
Thanks to all contributions!
