544536 - Set up font on mozilla.org for use with @font-face

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[David Boswell]

We'd like to get the Meta font hosted on mozilla.org so we can use it to style text on the site.  There are some blocking requirements we need to implement to follow the license.  The details of that are in bug 540859.  Copying Steven for guidance on how to duplicate this on a different site.

relevant lines from mozilla.com's .htaccess: 
(this *should* transfer over directly)

# block hotlinking to .woff and .eof files
# bug 540859
RewriteCond "%{HTTP_HOST}_%{HTTP_REFERER}" "!\.?([^\.]+\.[^\.]+?)_https?://.*\1/.*$"
RewriteRule \.(woff|eot)$ - [F,NC,L]

<FilesMatch "\.(woff|eot)$">
    Header append vary "Referer"
</FilesMatch>

FYI, from the blog post about the getfirebug.com redesign there was mention of an open source font used there that might be worth considering:

Changing summary to reflect that we haven't decided on which specific font to use.

per bug 562388, you can pull fonts from mozilla.com/img/fonts/

so we don't need to copy those fonts to mozilla.org
