fonts

On any new Steam profile, there are many parts of the page (such as the username) that is supposed to be following this font hierarchy:

'Motiva Sans Thin',Arial,Helvetica,Verdana,sans-serif

However, Motiva Sans Thin is not showing in Firefox anymore. It used to several days earlier, but now it reverts to Arial. Chrome, the Steam client, and other browsers still display Motiva Sans Thin, which leads me to believe it's still in my system's fonts, or still being provided as a web font.

I have tried creating a new Firefox profile to no avail. It's been doing this for about two weeks now.

Why is Firefox no longer displaying the font when it used to, and other browsers still do? How can I fix this? Thanks.
