Font issue with .woff #189
Comments
I suggest to set your preferred fonts in the browser and ignore such new and improved features for the sake of privacy. In my browser prefs I untick:
|
@Atavic to be fair, icons on some sites break with that checkbox unticked. Like, imgur.com or circleci.com. |

uBlock Origin have a nice feature to enable/disable "gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled" per site: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-remote-fonts |
@ivan-kolmychek Ok, that's a bad choice by the builders of those sites IMHO. |
@Atavic of course, but I thought that is a drawback that may be worth mentioning if you're suggesting that, so if someone does uncheck that box they'll be ready for this. :) |
Thanks for the feedback everyone. What I am the most confused about is how a default Firefox 49 install doesn't have this issue, but only the user.js install even with with the checkbox ticked. I understand the privacy implications of allowing custom fonts, but at this point I'm stumped on why the user.js does this. |
The page has a wordpress theme and google-analytics. Maybe should:
Set to true? |
That has nothing to do with fonts. It controls the optional data collection in Firefox Hello. |

@tophat01: Which add-ons you have in use? |
Ok. I got it working by setting |
@pyllyukko Ah, it must of been HTTPS Everywhere! Thanks for your response, I was able to replicate your results by doing the same thing. I had a hunch it was the website's fault. |
I guess we can close this then. |
Hi,
I've come across an interesting issue when using the user.js, with one particular website: http://blog.us.playstation.com/
I checked the site's source and it appears it uses custom .woff and .woff2 font files but always displays in the default font (Times New Roman) even when I have gfx.font_rendering.opentype_svg.enabled set to true and browser.display.use_document_fonts set to 1. My gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled setting is set to true, by default.
Is there another setting that affects how custom fonts are displayed? This is the only site that I've come across so far that has this issue. A default install of Firefox displays the site properly.
I apologize in advance if this is an easy question, I'm still a complete newbie to most of this.
Thanks
