Font error: Everything is in gross-looking Arial

[BackseatTyrant]

This is an issue I haven't had with XF 2.2 until today, but now, all the non-header text is brute-force defaulting to Arial, as if the font it's intending to use doesn't exist. So now, everything looks cheap and grainy.

When I look into the browser console (I'm on the Firefox Windows 10 v119.0, btw), I find this message:

Request for font "Helvetica" blocked at visibility level 2 (requires 3)

Is it that your browser settings aren't working? The default font for the forum looks normal.

If you want to post in Helvitica you can specify that in your posts:

[font=Helvitica]The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.[/font]

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

I'm using Opera.

No, I think you misunderstood my post. I'm not talking about customizing fonts in posts. I'm talking about almost all fonts in the very UI defaulting to Arial. Also, I've checked with other sites, and it's only Civfanatics that's having this issue

I wasn't sure what had changed but noticed things were looking odd this morning, hopefully @The_J can sort it!

Okay, I've digged further, and found this in Firefox's latest update:

The fonts returned to what I was used to, after changing the tracking protection from Strict to Standard

Uh... that's very interesting.
Thanks for reporting the problem and the solution .
