Problem description: 
Visiting LibreOffice website results in wacky loss of characters. Am I missing fonts? Not sure... This sort of behavior does not seem to come up on other sites.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Point Firefox at libreoffice.org

Current behavior: Characters dropped from nav, most copy on page, seemingly at random.

Expected behavior: No chars dropped.

This behavior exists in the nav, slideshow, and most of the body of the page. The content within the tweet section, however, does not. Maybe some problem with webfonts?
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.4.2 release

I don't reproduce your issue with IE 11
with Opera 12.17 I don't see the arrowpoints characters but all other fonts look ok.

Would you mind filing website related issues in Redmine instead of here?

As the “WWW” component in this Bugzilla says: “DO NOT USE, please file infra bugs now via Redmine”. See https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Category:Infrastructure for more information.

I can't reproduce this in Firefox 29 (Gaelic UI) or SeaMonkey 2.27 (English UI) on Win 8.

Firefox 29 is in EOL state. Not reproducible with FF 30.
RESOLVED WORKSFORME this time per other comments.
Seems this bugtracker is for WWW related issues:
https://redmine.documentfoundation.org/projects/infrastructure
P.S.
IMHO the need to redirect such issues to other tool is unfortunate.

Hello Alex,

I had also this displaying with Firefox 30.0 and IE 11. 
Main change came from Windows Update. 
Now, all characters are displayed. 
IE 11 works as expected but Firefox don't display icons. To have icons displayed, I have to change Options > Content > Default Font > Advanced :
Allow Websites to use their own fonts > Checked.

Can you confirm?

Thanks,

Jacques

Hi all,

Confirmed on french lists, on several machines. Set Status to Reopened.

REOPENED is reserved for a bug that:

1. a developer has marked as FIXED;
2. a developer is assigned to the bug that is marked as FIXED;

In this case the enhancement request was never independently confirmed so correct status is UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!

I remember being annoyed at this bug, but it got fixed. Setting to WFM.
