User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0

Steps to reproduce:

Go to a website that uses a bitmap for or open up a HTML file that looks something like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div style="font-family:unifont;">Unifont</div>
<div style="font-family:UW Ttyp0;">UW Ttyp0</div>
<div>Default</div>
</body>
</html>

replacing unifont and UW Ttyp0 with any suitable otb and bdf font names.

Actual results:

The text that should have shown up (either in google or the file) does not. It remains blank. The text is selectable, just not visible.

Expected results:

The text should be displayed in the specified font. If I revert back to version 111, the issue is not present.
Alternatively, if Firefox is dropping support for bitmap fonts, the text should be displayed with a suitable vector font.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Text and Fonts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Layout: Text and Fonts
Product: Firefox → Core

Probably the patch in bug 1827950 fixes this.

Depends on: 1827950
