Font Error
Font Error
The new Firefox update has killed the Futurist Stencil (Palitoy) font in the archives. The Action Force Normal (Hasbro) font remains unaffected.
Apologies for the inconvenience. I have notified the Mozilla engineers.

Re: Font Error
Is anybody else having this problem? Firefox support say it is working properly.

Re: Font Error
I've narrowed the problem down to the new release Firefox 3.5.4, as you can 3.5.2 works fine.
OK, it's confirmed.
I completely uninstalled Firefox and manually deleted the Mozilla folders from C:\Users\Moderator\AppData\Local and C:\Users\Moderator\AppData\Roaming
I did a clean install of the new Firefox 3.5.4 and went directly to my homepage.

I then uninstalled 3.5.4 and again manually deleted the core folders.

As you can see, the Futurist Stencil font displays in 3.5.2, but not 3.5.4.
At no point did I reinstall the font itself. There is a glitch in the new Firefox release.
I know it's just a silly little thing, but it is integral to my site.
Re: Font Error
I can confirm this happens on a Windows machine (XP).
I've just downloaded Firefox 3.5.4 on a Mac and the font works fine there. Worked in 3.5.3 too, so it seems to be OS specific.

Re: Font Error
Having been completely ignored for four days I have no choice but to advise people to boycott the new Firefox. Maybe they'll pull their heads out of their asses and sort it out, but I am not optimistic. I have removed the Mozilla Firefox recommendation from the site Thanks page.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
