In Firefox font Museo-500 (.ttf) isn't rendered correctly.

Strings 'ff' and 'fi' are not shown. Here's an example screenshot:

I believe this is a bug in the browser and can be fixed soon, is there any way I could protect against the error temporarily?

Thanks

This is quite an issue for me. I have installed the very popular Museo on a website via @font-face. Firefox is quickly taking over the browser market...and it doesn't render the letter combinations of "fi" and "ff" don't show at all.

After testing in Adobe Browserlab, I find that it is the same in all versions of Firefox on Windows and OSX. So "suffer" looks like "suer", and "affects" looks like "aects".

I hope this is soon resolved!

I had the same problem with the set downloaded from myfonts.com: No "fi". So I searched for another source and downloaded the font from fontspring.com. I can't actually tell why, but it works now.

Sounds like a problem with ligature support in those fonts.
