I'm not sure if this is the right sub-component, and I'm not sure if I picked the right version from the list.

I'm using Epiphany (also known as GNOME Web) and I noticed it doesn't handle base64 encoded web fonts. Many websites embed fonts within the CSS to reduce the number of HTTP requests...
One such example is The Verge ( http://www.theverge.com/ ), and there are many other examples across the web.

I mentioned this in a discussion in GNOME's bugzilla ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752533 ), and was asked to file it here.
