Jim, please re-test with a trunk build:

Comment 4

[Andrew Schultz]

do you have the pref "Allow documents to use other fonts" disabled?  That would
be bug 79074
also, it should be "font-family:monospace", not monotype

Comment 5

[Jim Hart]

`Always use my font settings' is off. I presume that's what you mean, as I don't
see a preference called "Allow documents to use other fonts".

I'll try the latest nightly build this weekend.

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

please try with a more recent build from .mozilla.org.  In general, bugs found
in a linspire-packaged build should be reported to linspire.

Jim Hart, did you try with a nighlty build?

Comment 8

[Jim Hart]

Yes. It works fine, now. Sorry I didn't let you know sooner.

This is invalid, since "monotype" could have been picking up any random font...
