Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:35 dcf]:
 > For what it's worth, my thinking behind this ticket was not only to
 enable bundled fonts, but also to prohibit loading any font files other
 than the bundled files. I.e., whitelist certain font ''filenames''. The
 patches https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-browser-
 bundle/commits/13313+4 and https://github.com/arthuredelstein/tor-
 browser/commits/13313+5 enable bundled fonts and then whitelist certain
 font ''names'', which is not quite the same if the user happens to have
 fonts with the identical names already installed on their system.

 That's a good point. I considered the filename option somewhat but my
 impression was it was going to be pretty messy to implement on some
 platforms. But it may be worth another look. So I'm opening a new ticket:
 #16739.
