There is probably a manual edit that can do this as well, but if you download the advanced settings add-on there is an option under the web sites icon to tellFirefox to download fonts embedded in web sites. I had to enable this to get the icons to display. However, now I seem to have some very odd characters in my dashboard fonts and I’ve seen them on some of the posts here as well. I would say it’s an encoding issue, but all my encoding settings seem to be right. It makes it hard to read, particularly when typing inside edit boxes.

Nothing I know of changed, but it is working now.

If I had that plugin installed I might try that, but I think most of us who have been trying unsuccessfully to solve this problem have already taken the step of disabling every plugin we have and it still isn’t working. It may be that there is no common thing that is breaking the editor, but if that is the case then the editor is too easily broken and it may be time to redesign or replace the base code for it. People have been having this problem randomly since v3.2 at leased based on the posts that searches turn up.

I’ve looked through several posts regarding this problem going back several versions. I have already tried disabling all of my plugins and going back to the default theme. Nothing brought back the editor so I put everything back. I reinstalled WordPress from the dashboard. Short of making some suggested changes to the config file that I don’t understand and therefore hesitate to make, I don’t know what else to try. The trouble for me may have begun with the original Weaver 2 theme, but I have removed that completely. There may be visual oddities of which I’m not aware because I can’t actually see my site very well, but as far as I know the front end is fine.
