Are you sure the right version of this test file was attached? This file does not actually apply the webfont to any content; and so the screenshot (attachment 8964911 [details]) just shows a difference in default fonts between the Chrome and Firefox configurations.

Attachment: font-face example

I don't think this is valid/actionable as filed, per comment 3. I'll attach an updated example that uses @font-face to load a webfont and applies it to the text, which should be usable as a testcase.

(It loads the font resource directly from the axis-praxis.org site, which may not be guaranteed to remain available; an alternative would be to download the .woff2 file and put in the same directory as the testcase, and then just use the plain filename in the src: descriptors instead of the https://... url.)

Is there anything to do here, given the updated example (comment 4), or can we close this issue?
