User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100915 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.6.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100915 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Firefox/3.6.10

@font-face does not work when the ttf file, the css file, and the webpage are on different subdomains.
 
The ttf file is properly downloaded by firefox, but is not used to render the text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
my example was :
1. webpage on composer.misterbark.com
2. css on img.misterbark.com
3. ttf on img.misterbark.com
Actual Results:  
ttf file downloaded, but not used.
This happens in every situations as long as the sub domains are distinct.


Even these cases do not work :
1. webpage on composer.misterbark.com
2. css in page
3. ttf on img.misterbark.com
OR :
1. webpage on composer.misterbark.com
2. css on img.misterbark.com
3. ttf on composer.misterbark.com
 
All 3 of them must be on the same subdomain.

The part about the font being in a different domain/subdomain is bug 604421.
