Comment (by 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.

 But at any rate, I think these patches are a positive step and will
 probably remove the majority of fingerprintability related to font files.
