Title:
Firefox does not render Droid Sans Bold when font is loaded from the
Google Web Fonts directory, if the font already exists on the computer
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
If a developer wishes to use the Droid Sans font on their website,
they may choose to load it using the Google Web Fonts directory, so
visitors who do not have the font installed can have the page rendered
correctly.
However since there is a package in Ubuntu of the Droid fonts, it is
possible an Ubuntu user may already have the fonts installed.
If this is the case, then, whilst the web page correctly renders in
the Droid font, no bold fonts are rendered (if the bold font is loaded
from Google). If the fonts are not installed locally then the bold
font correctly loads.
In other web browsers, such as Arora or Epiphany, this issue does not
occur - though no Droid appears when the font is removed suggesting
that these dont support the font-face CSS parameter. This issue does
not occur in Google Chrome which does support font-face.
By the look of it, this is a problem with Firefox's handing of fonts.
I have tested this under openSUSE and Windows, and could not reproduce
this issue.
Expected: bold droid fonts load
Happened: no bold droid fonts
