I'm very happy to announce that I have implemented a font loading fallback utilizing FreeType for <10.6 builds of PowerFox!
Long time PPC users may know that TenFourFox historically struggled to load certain fonts, resulting in broken pages with a bunch of blocked A characters. This led to the font blocklist being implemented, which just avoided loading the problematic fonts.
However, for the first time ever, I have implemented a fallback layer to parse these rejected fonts with a different library, which resolves essentially every single font issue on 10.3-10.5!
