It also makes sense for pages where you don't have any issues with the fonts because they are all standard Windows fonts or you running some other OS and already have them loaded.
i dont believe it.. It makes no sense as other browsers dont have this issue

So I found through the many complaints about this that 'material icons' font is the issue. How can I substitute these for other fonts?

So as this is no longer a Firefox issue it's being moved to MozillaZine Tech.

This is about special icon fonts that a lot of websites use these days to display small images.
Another example is the Font Awesome font.
https://fontawesome.com/v5.15/icons?d=gallery&p=2

To be able to see those icons you need to enable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above".
