Arial Black is the specified font for headers on my website; however, FF4 doesn't render out Arial Black whereas FF3.6 rendered it out perfectly along with other browsers. What's the deal?
I just upgraded to FF4 and was surprised to see that Arial Black wasn't rendering. My css validates and have never had an issue rendering our Arial Black on any browser - as of now FF4 is the only browser that doesn't support Arial Black. Chrome, Safari, IE9, and Opera all display my fonts as I specified in the css. Being a web designer I seek uniformity across all browsers.

I just installed FF5 (skipped 4) and noticed this problem. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64-bit. I have FF3.6 installed side-by-side w/FF5 and 3.6 shows Arial Black correctly, as does IE6, 7, 8, and 9 as well as Chrome and Opera. What the heck was Mozilla thinking???
This is going to be a big problem for me. Many of my site headers use Arial Black, and obviously something is going to have to be done so those headers don't just show up in FF5's choice of font. So who's going to pay for me to go through and make all those fixes, huh? I don't think the clients are going to want to pay for it because they didn't do anything to cause this problem. I rather doubt that Mozilla will pay for it. I'm a small business. Doing a bunch of non-billable work like that is tantamount to not eating. Thanks a lot Mozilla! :(
How do you do that?
I got arial black font to work and Im using 64 bit nightly 10.0a1 without completely disabling hardware accelerator. I went into about:config and then to gfx.direct2d.disable and set that to true and arial black showed up after that. Im using it right now. I need it since Im kind of far from my monitor and at 1080i the fonts are hard to see. Also use hardware acceleration is still checked.
dkoppenh had it right.
I can confirm that with hardware acceleration on, Arial Bold appears as Arial Black and can affect Web layouts on FF7 with Windows 7 OS.
