Font errors in control panel with Firefox

vsajip

I'm using Firefox 81.0.2 on Windows 10 to access the Opalstack control panel. In the JavaScript console, I get a number of errors, and some of the text appears to be using the default browser font.

Can you provide a screen shot of what you're referring to there? I can reproduce the console errors, but not the default font issue you've described.

Thanks for the report! I've reproduced in in my own installation of Firefox here. Will report it to our developer and should have a fix as soon as possible.

Thanks again!

sean I think that's just because it couldn't load your custom fonts, due to the error you've reproduced - the browser will just show whatever font is assigned as default when it can't apply the font referenced in the CSS. I 'll see if I can reproduce the exact bit.

I should clarify: what I've reproduced are the yellow downloadable font warnings. I have not been able to reproduce the "uncaught ReferenceError".

Looks like there's a request to a Google server for webfont.js. Anyone who's blocking Google, perhaps via privacy plugins, might see that fail and the relevant script wouldn't load.

Would it be possible to switch to a locally-hosted font? I don't like Google tracking me across the web and fingerprinting accesses to their scripts and fonts is one way in which they do that.

kylotan Great suggestion, I've added it to the list. Thanks!
