Google seems to have convinced Monotype to grant an open-source compatible patent license for their MTX font compression proposal.

This bug is to consider adding support for this web font format to Firefox.

This is part of the work for the WOFF 2.0 format.  Once work on that stabilizes we'll implement whatever that proposal is.
