This error does only appear, if Suitcase does administrate the system fonts and the font of the text isn't declared by css or the <font>-tag. I've got these errors using Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040628 Firefox/0.9.1 Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-DE; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041016 Firefox/1.0 (MMx) Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Also tested on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; de-DE; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 all the same.
I think I can confirm that this is a bug. The main question remains: How is this behaviour triggered?

Is this only an issue on Mac? If so, it's likely a Mac GFX bug...

macOS moving not just from PowerPC to Intel, but now from Intel to ARM, and the screenshot being 404: Should this still be open?

None of the software that may have been involved here is relevant any more.
