Ok, I can confirm that this bug exists. It is caused by the use of local() in
the css:

@font-face {font-family: AgentOrange ; src: local(AgentOrange),
url(AgentOrange.ttf);}


The choice of local() as a resource for the font results in WebKit trying to
use a locally installed font first, and only then fall back to the remote url
to download the font.

The way the font system works for the Qt port in WebKit is that we satisfy all
requests for fonts, because it's Qt that tries to determine if a font exists or
not. We do not verify the existance of a font in the QFontDatabase, in
FontCache::createFontPlatformData.

If you remove the local() from the testcase, then the font is loaded.
