Package: firefox-esr
Version: 45.1.1esr-1+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After installing some new fonts, Firefox now displays most web pages in
bold - particularly, any site that requests "Arial".
This is *not* reproduced when I call font-config directly, so Firefox
must be doing something funky.
The package `fonts-arkpandora` contains Aerial, which is the highest
priority Arial--compatible font available in Debian. If I call
`fc-match Arial`, it correctly returns the "Regular" variant of the
font. However, Firefox is choosing the "Bold" variant for some reason.
If I remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/61-arkpandora.conf then Firefox chooses
the next option, Arimo, and correctly chooses the non-Bold variant.
I have reproduced this all with a fresh firefox profile
(firefox -no-remote -P).
