Hi,
something seems to be wrong with Iceweasel's interaction with the font
system. Consider Wikipedia, the h1 has
font-family: "Linux Libertine",Georgia,Times,serif"
Fontconfig knows these fonts:
$ fc-match 'Linux Libertine'
LinLibertine_R.otf: "Linux Libertine O" "Regular"
$ fc-match 'serif'
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"
Nevertheless the font used is, according to Iceweasel's inspector,
Nimbus Roman No9 L Regular (and it was TeXGyreTermes until I removed
fonts-texgyre).
No font-related settings are changed in about:config.
Thanks,
Joachim

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
