Removing the font-face declarations (or the font-family of DroidSans) fixes it. This site also has the same problem for all fonts: http://opentype.info/demo/webfontdemo.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the Jetpack site or the other linked site. Actual Results: Characters are displayed as boxes with their hex value inside. (I'll see if I can attach a screenshot after submitting this.) Expected Results: The actual characters should be displayed (ideally using the provided font-face)

Comments on this blog post show a couple of other people with the same problem... just to confirm that it's not my crazy computer. https://labs.mozilla.com/2009/05/introducing-jetpack-call-for-participation/
I can confirm this on Ubuntu when visiting e.g. <http://senate.alfred.edu>. User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090401 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5b4pre uname -srvm: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686
I should add that I do *not* see this behavior with Firefox 3.5b99 under the latest version of Mac OS X.
Try with the latest Shiretoko nightly: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-1.9.1/ This is almost certainly bug 489445.
Yes, it renders fine for me now so it's almost certainly the same thing. I'll remember to try the latest version next time. Thanks!
