Font missing in Firefox 5.0.1 after Lion install (It displays in Safari.)

A website I often visit uses the Baskerville font. It displayed fine on Firefox 5.0.1. After the Mac OSX Lion install, Baskerville no longer displayed -- the site showed the Times New Roman font instead. For comparison, Safari 5.1 correctly showed the Baskerville font on this website. What can I do to make the Baskerville font display correctly? This could also be an issue for customized font families on other websites, so knowing the solution to this problem might help. Thanks.

Psst...does anyone have insight on this problem? I've researched the Web the last few days and have found no satisfactory solution. In addition, I found on the website I referred to in my original post that the font for the h1 heading also changed - still shows properly in Safari 5.1. Would appreciate a response from an expert here. Thanks so much.
