Some fonts at https://fonts.google.com/ can't be rendered. One of them is https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ranga I am from windows 7 64 bit. A screenshot is attached which shows the boxes instead of fonts.

If you open the Browser Console, you'll see a number of error messages related to the fonts, indicating that they do not properly follow the OpenType specification, and therefore they are rejected by the font sanitizer. You can bypass this by setting gfx.downloadable_fonts.otl_validation to false in about:config, but please report the problems to Google Fonts before just doing this and ignoring it; otherwise they may not be aware that there are errors in the font files they are serving.
