New description:
We bundle fonts with Linux Tor Browser, but I recall noticing that the
bundled fonts are used with different priorities on different Linux
flavors, such that a given code point is displayed with Font 1 on Linux
flavor A and Font 2 on Linux flavor B. This probably has to do with the
order of font loading being different.
Currently we use a workaround in 000-tor-browser.js, where we enforce
priorities useing the font.name* prefs. But we should investigate the
underlying reason for this problem and come up with a better patch that
ensures our whitelisted fonts are always applied in the same order. That
way a given code point will always use the same font.
