Comment:

 While this is still fresh in my mind: `bug33430_00`

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/sysrqb/torbutton.git/commit/?h=bug33430_00&id=9e18e7e2a9042976e128f96bddd1d38953512d73

 I verified this works by loading the provided example page on Safer
 (before disabling the pref), I opened the webtools Inspector, I selected
 an element on the page (any of them should work), from the panel on the
 right-side I selected the "fonts" tab, at the bottom of the fonts tab
 there is an "All fonts on page" arrow/toggle (at least in English).
 Clicking this shows all fonts used on the page, and indeed it shows the
 `data:` webfonts.

 After disabling the downloadable_fonts pref, I refreshed the page and
 repeated the above steps. It shows only system fonts were used.

 In parallel, I went code-diving and this seems reasonable.
