[OpenFontLibrary] Broken preview on openfontlibrary.fontly.org

[Daniel Johnson]

OK, I've tracked down the problem with the @font-face all showing the
Medium.  This occurred both with Firefox and Arora (I don't have
Safari or Chrome installed).  I haven't verified that this problem
exists on any platform other than WinXP; I'll have to give it a try on
my Linux box when I get home tonight.  If the fonts are NOT installed
locally, display is correct; but if they *are* installed locally, only
the Medium Upright shows up.

Regards,
Daniel
