User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

for me as a webdesigner it would be realy great to know that most internet users
have some common fonts on their computers. there are lots of good free fonts
arround, but they cannot be used for webdesign, because noone has them. windows
installes some webfonts like verdana, webdings .... and many webdesinger are
using them. but this works only on windows and mac os-9. 

for webdesing it would be great to know, if the client is mozilla or firefox,
that i can expect some 5-10 mozilla fonts on this system.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
different font for websites on differnt systems

Expected Results:  
same fonts on all systems using firefox/mozilla

I know sIFR . its absolutly cool. but it demands javascript, css and flash on
the target system and it's quite complicated to use.

This is not something we're going to do.
