I've run into an issue with Firefox. Check out the example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BuLhF.

Basically, with the font Poiret One, embedded with Google fonts, the letter ō doesn't render properly in Firefox but in Chrome it is ok.

Edit:

Moreover, on Virtual Machine Ubuntu, Firefox is displaying it ok. The host Windows 7 has this problem.

    I can't reproduce the problem. Both firefox and chrome render the character just fine on my system (Ubuntu Linux).

  • I'm with Stephen - works OK for me. Firefox on Windows 7 (and Chrome for that matter). Your screenshot doesn't just show an "improper rendering" - it's showing a character from an entirely different font!?

    My fault. I forgot that I have installed a subset of this font and the system is getting it without trying to update it from the site.

The culprit was in fact me.

I had earlier installed a smaller subset of this font on my machine. Firefox and Internet Explorer (this is as far as I have checked) are rendering a font from the system, yet Chrome downloads the font even if you already have it.
