521219 - Embedded font downloading is not handled correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 31538

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Eric Vaughn]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I'm pretty sure that all of the usual things have been ticked off, for instance:
- I'm sure that the font can be embedded
- I'm think I'm using the right encoding
- The font is hosted on my site and not elsewhere

The site is a http://www.sigvatr.com

Try opening it in Internet Explorer to see what it should look like.

That's not the issue though, the issue is that the embedded font did work in Firefox at one point and now it doesn't for some reason. I have no idea why it stopped.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.sigvatr.com
Actual Results:  
Embedded font is not downloaded.

Expected Results:  
Embedded font should be downloaded.

If you specify characters Firefox will display characters. If you want a specific glyph you will need to look up the unicode symbol.

http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/block_elements/list.htm
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/box_drawing/list.htm
etc. the site in general is a great resource for unincode glyph lookups.
