But my current local version is similar. If you download the current page you will see that it includes https://nav.files.bbci.co.uk/orbit/1.0.0-571.15b54a4/css/orb-ltr.min.css which uses some BBCReith fonts (Sans and Serif) and these are woff2 fonts, so for everything using those fonts you will get the official fonts if you allow the page to use them (ISTR somebody mentioned overriding that). If you don't let firefox use them, then I assume you will get whatever you have set as the fonts in firefox's preferences. If those are merely Sans and Serif then fc-match will tell you what it is using. ĸen -- Truth, in front of her huge walk-in wardrobe, selected black leather boots with stiletto heels for such a barefaced truth. - Unseen Academicals ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Truth, in front of her huge walk-in wardrobe, selected black leather boots with stiletto heels for such a barefaced truth. - Unseen Academicals
