User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/112.0
Steps to reproduce:
I went to https://github.com/ and noticed the text wasn't being rendered. Found out the computed style was to render font-family:Helvetica. Firstly, I didn't have Helvetica font on my system which means it shouldn't have been so I went and downloaded, placed in .fonts folder and reset fc-cache. I even reset whole pc. Word processors and gnome-font-viewer could see the newly installed font.
Actual results:
No text is rendered, just blank space where the text would be. Still able to highlight and hover links but text is invisible.
Expected results:
Don't select Helvetica if it is not installed. Render Helvetica properly when it is installed.

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.
Helvetica bitmap font is inside xfonts-100dpi (and maybe xfonts-75dpi) package in Ubuntu. You can try removing them.
Also bug 1827950 is fixed in the ff 113 beta.

Removing xfonts-100dpi fixed the issue, thanks for the workaround.

If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds like this was indeed a duplicate of bug 1827950 (which shipped in 112.0.2, per bug 1827950 comment 25).
