How can I make Firefox use a font that doesn't appear in it's dropdown box?
I want to make firefox use the Terminus font, but it doesn't appear in the drop-down box, trying making a .css file with content :
/*Change address bar font, color and size*/
- urlbar {-moz-appearance: none !important;
font-family: Terminus !important; font-size: 16pt !important; }
didn't work either, what can I do? I have the font installed.

The terminal font is probably a raster font and not a vector (true type or open type) font and such bitmap font may not be working in Firefox, especially if they do not show as a selectable font.
This archive contains source code for generating and installing Terminus Font for Linux console, BSD console and X11 Window System. - version 4.38 - sizes 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x18, 10x20, 11x22, 12x24, 14x28, 16x32 - styles normal, bold, EGA/VGA bold - characters 879 - format Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) version 2.1
A font like DejaVu is a much better choice if you need support for a lot of languages

That doesn't work, because this font isn't listed in the drop down box, I stated this in the OP.
Are you getting the font in notepad font option.
Yes, I even have it as system font.
Firefox >File > Quit
Reopen and check it out...
I have restarted firefox dozens of times by now, it doesn't do anything.
Did you changed the css firefox file?
I have this file in the correct folder, any font that is included in the dropdown box does work here.
In the file I accidentally have 'terminal' instead of terminus, but putting terminus there doesn't fix it either.
Delete your old profile and create new profile.
After that.
simply Change the font

Provide the font link
Its not a font, its a tool.
you can add that font by using firefox Addons

Already tried Theme Font & Size Changer, didn't work, also I'm pretty sure it is a font.
