TLDR:

If you download a recent Simulator addon or B2G desktop build, it will look
more like a real device, because you'll see it use the same fonts as
Firefox OS.

Details:

- You'll see the fonts in the latest Firefox OS 2.2 simulator addon
(published today) e.g. in WebIDE.
- They are being bundled in Mulet and B2G desktop builds on TBPL since a
week or two.
- It only took 65 patch uploads over 6 bugs in 8 months, with several back
outs and many entertaining random test failures[1].
- The fonts come from the same repo as the ones on devices:
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/moztt
- Recent B2G desktop builds have their prefs set up to use Firefox OS
fonts, so if you build yourself and want to see the fonts, either install
moztt fonts on your system, or add "MOZTTDIR=/path/to/moztt" to your
mozconfig file.

[1] My favorite "font-related" test failure: A single color-picker that
doesn't open when the buttons are in a specific order. The first CSS fix
"label { display: block }" didn't quite work out, but the second fix "body
{ font-family: serif }" ended up fixing it, as well as an exception in
another color-picker test.
