I see changes in FIrefox's toolbar and such.
No change in the actual web page.
The latter is what I would expect.

In case i wasn't clear before:
Firefox is set to let a web page choose its fonts.
Sometimes Firefox does not have the requested font.
The relationship between the requested font,
the available fonts and the font chosen is not trivial.
I'm not sure whether I have discovered it.
Inspect Element gives me the requested font.
I'm trying to find the chosen font.
