Thank you

Re: Pale Moon blocks certain google fonts
You're probably using Noscript, uncheck Forbid @font-face under Noscript options > Embeddings.
Re: Pale Moon blocks certain google fonts
Why would NoScript block @font-face? That makes no sense whatsoever since it's not active/script content, and is bound to seriously break a lot of websites...

Um.. Patched in July 2013 
. And Duqu was patched in 2011.
And only applies if you are actually using TTF for web fonts which is not a good thing (You'd want to use OTF or WOFF, or if needed EOT).
So, if you haven't patched your Windows in over 6 months you MAY need this, otherwise you're just crippling yourself. Even so if you think there's somehow still a threat, block .ttf extensions but not @font-face altogether?

Re: Pale Moon blocks certain google fonts
The ugly fonts are a real issue -- I have been running into sites that use them as icons for some time. Why is this "fonts as icons" method is so popular? I don't see any advantages ("manipulate them with CSS" is not an advantage IMO, since icons can be edited, and many sites just leave them as it is without any CSS manipulations). On the other hand, I see many disadvantages -- one of them being they don't have alt-text (think "blind people").
Anyway, a bit of searching reveals a much better solution, which is to add the following to noscript.allowedMimeRegex:
Any other domains that could be added?

Re: Pale Moon blocks certain google fonts
NoScript didn't block fonts by default. This is only for users which didn't like using other fonts and must be activated.
