Hey folks, had the same issue. fonts-roboto-hinted was already installed. I tried adding fonts-roboto (didn't solve it) and then fonts-roboto-fontface and fonts-roboto-unhinted. That did the trick. My guess is it's fonts- roboto-fontface, but I did not check that. Problem solved.
Thanks so much for all your prior work and the hint that it might be roboto. I checked with the site source (view- source:https://www.youtube.com/) and it clearly points to Roboto too. Thanks again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672698 Title: Broken/Missing font rendering in firefox Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On some websites,e.g., https://zenodo.org and https://www.youtube.com the text is not visible on the site. However, when selecting all (CTRL-a) and copying the text to an text editor, the proper text is available. Therefore, the text is not rendered or using an strange font without any glyphs in it. I repeated this with the usually not used "Guest Account". Hence it is not an issue with my personal setting. The issue appeared when upgrading to Ubuntu Zesty (17.04). The current Firefox package install is 52.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 I will downgrade not to 50.1.0+build2-0ubuntu1 to reexamine the issue.
