Not a security problem, unhiding so people who know about fonts have a better chance of seeing it.

Have you tried getting help from http://www.mozilla.org/support/ ?

The site seems to work for me when I follow the instructions at http://eenadu.net/fonthelp.htm. I say "seems" because I can't read Telugu, but Telugu characters are certainly appearing on the screen. Note that you should restart the browser after installing new fonts.

So why does it work directly in IE, without having to download and install a font?

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

Ah, actually, it seems that bug 158337, comment 6 answers this question (isn't this  a duplicate of that bug?)

Comment 7

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

Yes (although as bug 158337 comment 7 says, that one is probably itself a dupe).
