What are the privacy implications of enforcing an obscure font browser-wide (Firefox)? Are the website aware that they’re not using some generic/default font?
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Perhaps more importantly, websites can determine which fonts are installed on your system (regardless of which you’re enforcing), making fingerprinting much easier.
Literally why is this necessary on a technical level. I’m a web developer, whenever I need my JavaScript to access a resource I have to spell out where to find it. I’ve never had a need to scan the browser or the system to make shit happen so why should I be able to in the first place.
RFP probably ensures you give out a predetermined set of fonts as installed.
