I'm finding this quite tricky to reproduce, but have seen it a couple of times (out of many, many attempts) -- definitely something unreliable there. Presumably it's related to the fact that installing and removing a font causes us to rebuild the font list, but I'm not yet sure what's getting mixed up.
This bug looks like similar to the mentioned issue in bug 1584856 comment 5.
I'm not entirely happy with the resulting behavior, as it still sometimes leads to us using the wrong font after such an uninstallation has happened,

You're right, this does look very much like that -- thanks for reminding me of it. The DirectWrite issue described there could certainly explain the (sporadic) problem we're seeing here.

It's hard for me to be sure, because reproducing the issue here is very unreliable on my machine, but I think I may have a patch that fixes it. I've started a tryserver build at https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=a83ab04ab3dc858c5222b99408016da1bf19ef22. If you could test with this build when it's ready, and confirm whether you can still reproduce the bug, that would be really helpful -- thanks!
I can not reproduce this bug with the build in comment 5. Thanks.

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.
:jfkthame, is this bug important enough to require an uplift?
If not please set status_beta
to wontfix
.
For more information, please visit auto_nag documentation.

This is not preffed-on by default on beta, so the I believe status should be disabled
. No need to uplift.
