 We bundle fonts with Linux Tor Browser, but I recall noticing that the
 bundled fonts are used with different priorities on different Linux
 flavors, such that a given code point is displayed with Font 1 on Linux
 flavor A and Font 2 on Linux flavor B. This probably has to do with the
 order of font loading being different.

 Currently we use a workaround in 000-tor-browser.js, where we enforce
 priorities useing the font.name* prefs. But we should investigate the
 underlying reason for this problem and come up with a better patch that
 ensures our whitelisted fonts always have the same order or priorities.
 That way a given code point will always use the same font.
