Steps to reproduce:

Change default font in Options.

Actual results:

All pages display in Times New Roman, no matter which font I choose.

Expected results:

Bookman Old Style should display pages in Bookman Old Style
etc.

Bug started with latest two Nightly builds.

Starting in Safe Mode and using a new profile didn't fix the issue.

Thanks for reporting. I cannot reproduce this, but I've landed a few font changes that may explain this.

Are you unchecking the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" checkbox? If so, this is bug 1536718.

Otherwise I may need a bit more information about your locale in order to reproduce this. Thank you!

To be clear, does copying data:text/html,Foo into the URL bar show the default font you choose? If so, this is bug 1536718.

Correct. "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" is unchecked.

Thanks for confirming. Writing a test for that pref.
