Build ID: 20131114004004

Steps to reproduce:

Visit a website with webfonts support like ml.wikipedia.org and choose Malayalam language for display and choose meera as default font. Now visit another site like Luca.com.in. Even though browser has a cached font for Malayalam the site is shown as empty boxes.


Actual results:

Site is not displayed.


Expected results:

Browser should reuse the font it cached earlier to display the new website.
Severity: normal → major
It is not acceptable to show me boxes when I already have a font for my language in my phone. This feature will significantly improve web experience for millions of non-latin speaking people of the world. This is a must have feature if you are targetting a country like India which has so many different languages.
