Here is the session that I am using to generate the font...

If I open the demo.html in Firefox, it seems to work fine, but if I replace the existing woff font (which seems to be working just perfectly), then in Firefox the fonts just render as tiny little unicode icons.

(Chrome, which uses the svg, seems to be unaffected).

Any ideas of what I could be doing wrong?

What do you mean by replacing the woff font? You mean removing it? It works fine for me in Firefox with or without the woff font. Could you attach your generated zip file too?

I rebuilt the font and reset the codes, to see if that was causing the issue, but I ended up with the same problem.

Here's the generated zip file:

I checked the console messages and got the following messages:

downloadable font: table directory not correctly ordered
source: http://localhost:9000/fonts/qc-icons.woff

downloadable font: rejected by sanitizer
source: http://localhost:9000/fonts/qc-icons.woff

The reason why I expect this was showing the unicode characters instead of the icon, was that in my web app, I was choosing to only serve the WOFF and SVG. There was no fallback for the browser to use, so it wasn't rendering anything. After adding the TTF in to my web app, the icons showed up.

1) The TTF works for the moment as a fallback.
2) Is there anything that can be done about the table directory, which would prevent it from being rejected by the sanitizer in Firefox?

Thank you for a more detailed explanation of the problem. I was able to reproduce and fix the issue. It was a trivial ordering problem as the error message in the console was suggesting. Please refresh and try again.

Can you tell more about what fix you applied and how? I have a font that produces that error also.
