Can you provide a screenshot of what it should look like? Preferably, just add a minimal testcase with the bug so that it's easier to debug. Did you try this with the latest nightly? ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk

Um, we don't support EOT fonts at all, and we know that.  There's no need for any screenshots.

This bug should be marked a duplicate of an appropriate older bug.

(That said, Firefox 3.1 does support downloadable TrueType / OpenType fonts.)
