Comment(by monkeyiq):

 mike: definitely still interested. I just dusted the code off and ran it
 through the tbb hookup, to do a round of testing against flippingtypical.
 Alas... it seems that site can only detect 1 font. I then tested the
 normal tbb and it only finds a single font there too. Using plain Firefox
 allows flipping to find many fonts, so it seems that something in the
 current normal tbb release is stopping flipping from probing.

 fwiw installing tbb on osx mountain lion gives me the same result: only 1
 font detected. Regular Firefox on osx sees 60+ fonts.

 So I'll have to find a nastier prober before I can test the patch for
 final delivery :|
