Description Siebrand Mazeland 2011-12-14 12:15:47 UTC
IE6 not having font fallback causes Latin characters to display as squares when a web font is loaded that does not contain glyphs for the Latin script. A screenshot is available at http://media.crossbrowsertesting.com/users/34057/screenshots/window/z66900205a439264709a.png.
Comment 1 Siebrand Mazeland 2011-12-14 12:16:27 UTC
Based  on this observation, we think it is a bad idea to keep supporting WebFonts in Internet Explorer 6 and we have disabled it in r106172
