Summary:

Basic, One of the hosted fonts, has bogus rendering features depending on the
processing option for the 'gg' sequence of characters.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1048324
In Details:
===========
Steps to reproduce:
Use a word with the character sequence "gg" (e.g. eggplant) in an html page and
set 'font-family' to 'Basic' after including the webfont 'Basic':

Example:
-
http://jsbin.com/bojonefa/1
Actual results:
The character sequence "gg" gets rendered as "xg" where the colors of the "x"
are inverted. This happens only if the webfont 'Basic' is used.
I experienced this issue in FF 30 and 31.

This is a font bug. That font has a 'calt' (contextual alternates) feature that
replaces 'g' with .notdef when followed by another 'g'.
You can see the same behavior in Chrome if you set
-webkit-font-feature-settings: "calt" on;
