754204 - Get Typekit to support Fennec

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Rain [:rain1] (inactive)]

Typekit doesn't support Fennec yet. I sent them an email and their response was "We're working on increasing our support of Android browsers, but at the moment we're only able to test/support the default browser and Chrome on Android."

We should get them to support Fennec, especially since it shouldn't be much work to do so.

1) What's the status of this problem?
2) Where does Typekit's lack of "support" show a problem? Do I need to log in somewhere on typekit.com? Go to some site that uses Typekit? 
Thanks :)

Seems like it still happens.

Yes, you need to go to some site that uses typekit. Compare e.g. (my blog) http://www.less-broken.com on Firefox and Chrome on Android.

I don't have an Android device. I tried spoofing Firefox desktop as FxAndroid, and tried loading in a FirefoxOS build but I could not see any noteworthy difference. (What differences am I supposed to look for?)

There's some sniffing in use.typekit.com/fmp7ldo.js ..

(Difference as compared with Chrome on Windows, that is)

"We’ve added Firefox for Android to our list of officially supported Android browsers." from http://blog.typekit.com/2012/07/31/support-for-more-browsers-on-ios-and-android/. Do we have evidence that their newer kits are broken on Firefox for Android?

Siddharth, it seems like the version of typekit that you have predates Firefox for Android support: 

/*{"version":"10857959","created":"2012-05-08T22:30:52Z".

Going to close as fixed, but please reopen if you find that a newer typekit file proves otherwise!
