On Chrome it displays perfectly (or falls back to sans-serif???) but
on firefox it is extremely difficult to read.  Using firebug I can
force it to use sans-serif, which does display nicely.

Here's the link to a screen capture:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19486401/neue.png

that shows the leading vertical edges of n,u,h,p don't display; x is
also broken.

That looks like trying to display a font using lines less than one pixel
wide, and only the anti-aliasing being visible.

Do you have your screen DPI set correctly?  You're not using a faked up
DPI to change font sizing, like some people do.  That's the sort of
problem I'd expect to see from doing stunts like that.

Thanks for responding Tim.

I haven't mucked with the display settings.  Xorg.0.log says my DPI is 96x96.

The monitor is a Hanspree Hi221D, 1680x1050.

Side note: this is the only font I've seen act like this.  (Not so sure I like the idea of a webpage pulling in a font family when we have perfectly fine fonts provided by fedora ;)


That web page is using a downloadable font (you can check using the Firefox devtools inspector: right click on the text -> select "inspect element", and open the Fonts tab in the inspector window that'll appear).

You can force all web pages to use your own fonts in Firefox, first open Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> Advanced and disable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts.... ".

Note that this may prevent some pages from disabling correctly as there's a new trend of using "icon fonts", see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789788
