Yes, the same problem is still in effect as of Firefox 20.0 on all of my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS systems including a clean install.
The problem and a successful workaround are described well here: http://keramida.wordpress.com/2009/11/07/dejavu-condensed-as-default/ >From reading other bug reports and issue trackers, it appears that application teams (Mozilla and others) and GTK+ developers have pointed at each other, so the problem is stuck in the "probably won't fix" zone and has been for several years now. This is bad for a lot of users who find DejaVu Sans Condensed to be by far the clearest, most readable and comfortable font on their machine, especially for web browsing. I am sorry that I currently have to trick Firefox into recognizing this font by forcing a font substitution. At least it works, which is more than I can say for Chrome... thus far I have not discovered any way to make DejaVu Sans Condensed available in Chrome's font picker. That issue alone is completely constraining my choice of browsers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86689 Title: firefox does not recognize some font styles To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/86689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
