Webfonts.info Forums

There is a preview version (Windows/OS X) of Firefox with support for webfonts:
https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-bui ... ablefonts/

Known bugs:

• Windows: Postscript-style OTF fonts (i.e. CFF fonts) don't load
• Mac: Every now and then font load will fail and fallback font will show, investigating
• same-site origin restriction enabled by default (site A can't refer to fonts on site B)
• restriction can be disabled with gfx.downloadable_fonts.same-site-origin.enabled in about:config
• use of access control headers to allow cross-site usage not yet implemented
• for now, fonts are stored in mozfontxxx.ttf files in system temp directory. These may not get cleaned up if a crash occurs.
• unicode-range not yet implemented

Additional problems I found:

The format string "opentype" seems to cause problems. When used, the fonts are not loaded at all, or it is not possible to register different styles. On my demo page I only see one Font (Tagesschrift) which has the format string "truetype". All other fonts are missing.
I did some additional tests locally. With "opentype" i get:

If I change the format string to "truetype" (or anything else like "nonsense") I get:

Also, what happended to Contextual Alternates/Ligatures? Where they killed along with Discretionary Ligatures? I believe in 3.0.0 the contextual alternates did work.

This is what it should look like:


This is what I now get in the webfonts build of Firefox and also in Firefox 3.0.3:

(Screenshots are from TextEdit on OS X 10.5.5)

perhaps the link was demaged on its way, this one works fine: https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-bui ... on_fixups/

Thanks for the new link.
I guess it would be best t look here: https://build.mozilla.org/tryserver-builds/
and find the latest build by "jdaggett".

@font-face support is now merged into the nightly builds.
