Hi James,

Thanks for your message. As you suspect, the redirects are causing 
problems in Firefox. If you open up the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K or 
something similar depending on your platform) you should see the 
following messages:

[09:52:51.692] downloadable font: download failed (font-family: 
"googlepage" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0): bad 
URI or cross-site access not allowed
source: 
https://8901237997047058678-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/jcdsvg/googlepage.woff
-- 
[09:52:58.767] downloadable font: download failed (font-family: 
"casstext" style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:0): bad 
URI or cross-site access not allowed
source: 
https://8901237997047058678-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/jcdsvg/casstext.woff

If you use wget to fetch the fonts you will see there are a couple of 
redirects taking place. Each point in the chain, if it crosses domains, 
must be configured for cross-site sharing.[1]

If you search for "web fonts cross domain" you should find a series of 
helpful blog posts describing the issues here and workarounds.

I hope that helps!
