Comment(by cviecco):

 Mozilla has a bug about this at:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732096 . A Different approach
 is used, that is to limit the fonts to use only the generic font family.
 It is doubtful the current Tor font patch would be merged upstream as
 fonts can still be enumerated, just more slowly. The generic approach
 prevents this but makes many websites (that have incomplete font-familiy
 stacks) look strange.
