User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0 Build ID: 20160607223741 Steps to reproduce: On a Debian Stretch (testing) system: 1. apt-get install ttf-sjfonts 2. run the following file: ----- <html> <head> <style> @font-face { font-family: 'Steve'; src: local('Steve'); } body { font-family: Steve; } </style> </head> <body> <p>This is a test.</p> </body> </html> ----- Actual results: Firefox ignores the @font-face rule. Expected results: Firefox should use the Steve font: $ fc-list |grep -i steve /usr/share/fonts/truetype/sjfonts/SteveHand.ttf: Steve:style=Hand Please note 2 things: 1) the following file works well: ----- <html> <head> <style> body { font-family: Steve; } </style> </head> <body> <p>This is a test.</p> </body> </html> ----- 2) the following file works well too, but I think it's a bug: ----- <html> <head> <style> @font-face { font-family: 'Steve'; src: local('SteveHand'); } body { font-family: Steve; } </style> </head> <body> <p>This is a test.</p> </body> </html> ----- See also: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=627143

No, Firefox is correct here AFAICS. The src:local() descriptor takes an individual font *face* name, which may be either the "full name" or the "postscript name", according to the CSS Fonts spec.[1] In this case, the font's fullname and psname are both "SteveHand", and therefore that is the correct name to use in src:local(). The name "Steve" is the *family* name (which could potentially identify a whole family of "Steve" faces with different weights, widths, italicness, etc), and this is *not* valid for use in the src:local() descriptor. From a quick look at the Chromium issue mentioned, it sounds like Chromium may be accepting the font *family* name in src:local(). If so, that's a bug (and a violation of the spec).
