I have such problem: in all browsers font is what I want - "Helvetica Neue", but Firefox use second font in font-family list.

I checked it in Firebug:

      /rule from Bootstrap.scss/
      p → "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif
      parent matched//

Here is screenshot of what I have in Firefox:

And in Chrome:

or my font is not valid for Firefox ?

The whole reason for font-family list of font types is that if the client machine/browser doesn't have the first font on the list available, it will use the second, and if the second is not available it will use the third.

EDIT:

If you really must use the font family you want, you will need to get the font file for it and load it. here is a link to the thread that discusses this:

How do I load external fonts into an HTML document?

  • ok, I asked wrongly HOW to make Firefox use "Helvetica Neue" ? – MID Oct 05 '12 at 15:03
  • ok, I have font on my computer - maybe Firefox don't want to apply my font, because it is not correct ? – MID Oct 05 '12 at 15:09
  • It is impossible to say why it is not loaded in Firefox without running some tests. I'd suggest to try to load it manually with CSS and see if it fixes it. – Anton Soradoi Oct 05 '12 at 15:17
