I think that fonts downloaded by POL are in "~/.PlayOnLinux/fonts" directory

Thanks for answer.

I have seen that directory, i still got it. But the firefox is the native of Ubuntu, this caught my attention, then i thought... maybe there is other folder and/or configuration than link this fonts to ubuntu's firefox.

Firefox for Ubuntu has nothing to do with fonts from POL.

You can delete POL directory if you wont use PlayOnLinux in future.

To change fonts in Firefox go to Edit->Preferences->Contents and there try to change Fonts & Colors

Hello pablo,

Maybe the Microsoft fonts used by your native Firefox come from an Ubuntu .deb package containing these fonts, that would have been installed as a dependency of the POL .deb package.
So check in your package manager if there's such a package still installed. In Archlinux (my distribution) for example, this package is named "ttf-ms-fonts" (ttf for TrueType Font).

Bye
