Ok, I fixed it. I did a huge bulk install of fonts using your "in home but not in workstation" list, and it fixed the issue, at least for Youtube anyway. Here is the list of what did install. I do know that Youtube use the roboto font, which is on this list, but I did not test a separate install, though. Can you try it ?

However, when selecting all (CTRL-a) and copying the text to an text editor, the proper text is available. Therefore, the text is not rendered or using an strange font without any glyphs in it. I repeated this with the usually not used "Guest Account". Hence it is not an issue with my personal setting. The issue appeared when upgrading to Ubuntu Zesty (17.04). The current Firefox package install is 52.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 I will downgrade not to 50.1.0+build2-0ubuntu1 to reexamine the issue.
