--- Begin Message ---Package: general Severity: normal Dear developers, in some cases "Fira Sans" font only displays blank glyphs in web browsers. This was already reported in bug #800143 against Iceweasel (now closed and archived) [1] This bug still exists in Jessie. As the original report says, it is not specific to any browser, but seems to be specific to Debian. I can't get "Fira Sans" font to render on firefox-esr 45.3.0esr-1~deb8u1, firefox 49.0-4~bpo80+1 or google-chrome-stable 54.0.2840.59-1 on an up-to-date Jessie system using GNOME. This font is somewhat popular on the web, which means that I often encounter web pages where content is unreadable. Same browsers correctly display the font on Ubuntu. A HTML file with a simple test case is attached (at the moment also available on-line [2]). Affected systems only display the second line "sans-serif" in browsers, while the line "Fira Sans" is invisible. This issue appears to be connected to some part of X11 session state, because the same system will show different behavior depending on which desktop environment is currently used. The bug manifests itself on GNOME, OpenBox and Awesome WM, but not in XFCE. As simple way to reproduce the bug is to boot the XFCE live CD [3]. In the default XFCE session, the firefox-esr browser correctly displays the "Fira Sans" font. If you apt-get install openbox, log-out and log-in using Openbox session, the same browser will not render the font. Since I can't determine which package specifically is causing this, I'm reporting this bug against "general".

[..] This appears to be a bug in the specific font previously distributed by Google Fonts.

Closing as this is not a Debian problem _and_ should be working now. Chris
