Comment:

 What about a #13313-style solution? That is probably the only sure-shot
 solution against font fingerprinting. It looks like Mozilla landed support
 for that approach in FF32:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998844.

 As another option, gacar suggested
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1121643. But I think I'd
 rather spend the disk space on
 #13313/https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998844, which should
 be less work on our end, too.
