[Bug 481695] [NEW] Some fonts are missing from firefox

[Thinboy00]

Public bug reported:

Several of the fonts which are installed on the system are not supported
by firefox 3.5.  3.0 did support URW Chancery L, which comes with
Ubuntu.  This is a regression.

To reproduce:
1) Open a .html file with URW Chancery L font text

You see text in a generic serif font instead of Chancery.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: ubuntu => firefox (Ubuntu)

** Description changed:

- In Jaunty, Firefox (3) had no problem with URW Chancery L, which is a
- rather fancy font that comes with Ubuntu.  Now that I'm using Karmic,
- Firefox (3.5) is pretending I don't have the font... except that I know
- I do because all my other applications recognize the font as existing.
- As a matter of fact, the Fast Dial extension for Firefox does recognize
- the font, but Firefox is refusing to render it.  In
- Preferences->Content->Fonts, Chancery is not listed as a font.  If this
- was intentionally removed from the list by the developers, may I ask why
- they did so and how I can undo whatever they did?
