Firefox + Wordpress: a bunch of mysterious non-icons
I'm seeing a bunch of icons or placeholders newly replaced in WordPress. I disabled my add-ons singly and even restarted in safe mode, but that's not bringing them back. Some of these icons are for the post/page formatting options, others are display or for other reasons.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to return these icons, or what (javascript?) might be causing them to disappear?
Chosen solution
Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead. If you have a font installed that covers this Unicode range then you may see a real (CJK) character and not the little box with the CSS code.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
- Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).
