1535051 - User-selected monospace font not used for remote resources

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1512731

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Mahmoud Al-Qudsi]

Attachment: test.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:65.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/65.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set a custom monospace font and allow pages to choose their own fonts (see screenshot)
2. Load the test page both locally (via a file:/// url) and remotely (via a local webserver)

Actual results:

The user-selected custom font for unstyled <pre> tags or substituted where "font-family: monospace;" is used where applicable for the page loaded via file:/// (see screenshot) but not for the page loaded over http (see screenshot).

This also, oddly, affects the source viewer (see screenshot).

Expected results:

The user-selected custom font should have been used instead of font-family: monospace; and for <pre> tags unassociated with any style in both cases.

The images in comment 2 and comment 3 look identical to me -- did the wrong file get attached in one case, possibly?

My apologies. Resubmitted.

Thanks. Just to confirm, if you load your test file (attachment 9050694 [details]) from here in bugzilla, rather than via a local webserver, does that make any difference?

It's also rendered in Courier New rather than my chosen font.

I think there is a bigger underlying issue. Just filed #1535290

It sounds like this was a result of bug 1512731 blocking the use of your chosen font; with that fixed (e.g. in current Nightly), is there still an issue here or can we resolve this as being the same underlying problem?

I think we're good here! :)1
