Some fonts appear strange in Firefox after this upgrade.

Before: http://ftfl.ca/misc/before_webfonts_upgrade.png
After: http://ftfl.ca/misc/after_webfonts_upgrade.png

Note the strange 'N' in, e.g., "News and Announcements".

This is known problem with Verdana Bold

Try fontconfig hints from following link:

Comment 8 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-18 11:45:35 UTC 
Thanks for pointing that out.

I think the occasional weird letter is a lesser evil than disabling antialiasing for Verdana.

The fonts rendered correctly before.  Do you know what changed in this update to trigger the regression?
Comment 9 Joseph Mingrone freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-10-19 02:25:44 UTC 
A reasonable workaround for anyone else having this problem is to replace verdana with a similar sans-serif font by adding something like this to ~/fonts.conf.

  <!-- replace verdana due to bug: -->
  <!-- https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213512 -->
  <match target="pattern">
    <test name="family"    qual="any"><string>verdana</string></test>
    <edit name="family" mode="assign"><string>dejavu sans</string></edit>
  </match>

Sorry, that should have been ~/.fonts.conf instead of ~/fonts.cont.

verdana-version-knob.patch

I added Makefile knob to chose version (2.35 or 5.01) of Verdana font to install
Old version is default
