Web fonts are not displaying

Hello - For some reason my Firefox install is not displaying web fonts properly - It may have been doing this before the 13 upgrade. Doesn't matter if it's @font-face or Typekit or whatever, it's just goes down the fallback list until it finds one that I have installed on my computer.

I just went with the nuclear option and reset FF completely. Working now.

Is downloadable fonts enabled?

You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page.

Any errors about loading the font file in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Shift+Ctrl+K)?

Downloadable fonts is enabled in about:config

Not seeing errors in the web console, but in firebug it's giving me "NetworkError: 404 Not Found" for @font-face pulling from the same server and "NetworkError: 403 Forbidden" for pulling from TypeKit.

Did you look over the first link I posted to developer forums? You're getting 404 & Network error & it's specific to HTTP access control?

I couldn't figure out what to do with the HTTP Access control. Where's the setting I need to change to work through that?

Thanks
