How do I add the font Candara?
How do I add the font Candara to Firefox's fonts? It has so few of the standard fonts. I'd love to get this on here, but I can't figure out how.

On Linux, you can install the font file to your system, and it should pop up as an option in Firefox. There's a bazillion different font websites, you'll be able to find what you're looking for as long as it's not some super proprietary font only used for some company's products. It should be similar with Windows, not sure about MacOS since I have no experience with it.
Oh, I didn't even realize that it was probably just not on the machine at all, regardless of the browser, haha. Thanks, I'll poke around...
Yeah as adarza (can't figure out how to copy a users instance URL in interstellar) said it's a Microsoft font, so unless you're running windows it's most likely not preinstalled.
that font is one that's bundled with windows since vista, part of the 'microsoft cleartype font collection'. afaik it's not a free or foss font. but that should give you enough to ask your favorite search engine for uh.. "more information". if manually downloaded, they'd install like any other into macos or linux.
if you have the font (or have windows), and just want to change the default font for firefox, it's in the general settings, about halfway down that page. but note that web sites can change the fonts used on them, including downloading fonts for use on the page (those don't "install" into your os) via scripts or css.
Thanks, that makes sense.
Now here's a weirder issue: I tried to install the whole Candara font family and the regular one isn't showing up in any font lists, even though the file claims it's installed! I see all the other modifiers (bold, italic, etc.), but not the plain, old regular one. Do you have any idea of what may be going on?
