Can you link a webpage which has defined a font but Firefox ignores?

Just uninstall and reinstall FF. Would only take less than 5 minutes. (highFokke Nauta said:

That might not make any difference, even if Firefox was the problem
(though I don't think it is in this case). I believe that when you
remove Firefox, it will leave your user profile, which is where your
preferences are stored. Unless you delete or move your old profile,
when you re-install Firefox, it will pick up your old preferences all
over again.

There are 4238 files in the font folder.
I do have a font manager, Font Navigator, but nothing changed there.

I already did that. Didn't make a difference.

I agree
I believe that when you
I uninstalled FF and removed personal data and profile.
After that I did a clean install of FF. Did not make any difference.

OK, thanks. I was there indeed. I uninstalled IE10 but it did not make a
difference.

And right there, those are two significant factors, that
make your install different from everyone else!
Apparently, Font Navigator allows controlling fonts in separate
folders, so they don't all have to sit in one folder.

www.conserve.nl chooses
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
Firefox here displays Arial
www.maisondesmiracles.nl chooses
font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;
Firefox here displays Verdana
www.nu.nl chooses
font-family: Arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
Firefox displays Arial
Interestingly if I copy and paste text from above into Microsoft Word
the fonts are displayed as Times new Roman, the default for Word.
Take a look at this web page which choose font-family: Impact, Charcoal,
sans-serif

A lot of people are having trouble with this Windows update: KB2670838
It actually causes Firefox to crash on some computers, and it could be
giving you a problem.

Yeah, I always like to make things more complicated
There's one folder containg all the fonts. Its a subfolder of Documents.
And there's the C:\Windows\Fonts folder as well, containing 608 fonts.
But I did not change anything here.
Uninstalled IE10 but FF still shows the defaukt font.

I thought it 'might' work and was worth trying since it was so quick and
easy to try.
Hopefully you will find the real solution.
Perhaps it wasn't IE 10 after all, but another program or update that is
causing the problem.
Do not let MS Update ever install any hardware drivers (esp audio or video
card) updates, unless you are sure they are the right ones and you actually
need them. They can mess up many things on you computer.
You probably already know that, but I mentioned it just in case you didn't.

Perhaps it is a different program (other than IE 10) or another MS update
that changed the font behavior.
I have heard of MS driver updates to audio and video devices mess things up
also and I never allow MS Updates to install those.
You probably already knew that. When you find the solution, please post back
with it.
Good hunting.

It's under "Turn Windows features on or off", not in the main panel. I
had to look around to find it, since it wasn't where Nil said

Weird. I have that update on my Win 7 x64 and it's running fine. Must
be related to the hardware you're running.
