[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#927478: rust-doc: font-awesome not picked up by Firefox

[Shai Berger]

Package: rust-doc
Version: 1.32.0+dfsg1-3
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I like to browse the rust book using my locally installed
copy of the Rust documentation. Also, I use Firefox.

I've noticed for a long time that some icons in the book
web pages, like the "previous" and "next" buttons, are not
displayed as proper characters, and instead are showing just
a hexadecimal character code.

Today I checked and found:
- These symbols are created by use of Font Awesome
- Chromium, unlike Firefox, does show the correct symbols
- Firefox does show the symbols in the online version
  of the book

So I think that the problem is that the packaging somehow
prevents Firefox from picking up the correct fonts.

Thanks,
	Shai.
