Firefox 30, Chromium Version 36.0.1985.125 (283153), and Gnome Web on Archlinux. Text/Fonts are not showing up.

www.rust-lang.org is not rendering properly. Text is not visible. Here are several screenshots with more information.

Two other people in IRC have mentioned that they are also on Arch Linux, with Firefox 30, and it works for them.

So I figured out that it must be something wrong with my system as it affects only me. Furthermore, I have tried downloading the FiraSans-Regular.woff and installing it to my system. Letters written with this font in LibreOffice Writer also appear invisible.

After 3-4 hours of dancing around my laptop I have finally found solution, which was super easy-stupid. The problem was caused by the font that was already installed on my system as part of google fonts stack, which happens to bear the same name as the font that was supposed to be downloaded from the website. After deleting it from my system all browsers started sending request for the font from the website, which solved the problem.

@rcx128 Could this be solved by renaming the fonts on the website to unique names?

(Or is that unnecessary)

I just faced this issue on Fedora 23 with Firefox / Chrome after installing all Google Fonts (including Fira Sans/Mono). After I deleted the fonts from my system, the website rendered correctly.
