font-family not working in Firefox, but works in all other browsers?

I am using: body { font-family:"Franklin Gothic Demi"; }

It shows the font correctly in Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer, but shows Times New Roman in Firefox. Am I missing something? I thought Franklin Gothic Demi was a built in web font...

If your are using Mac or Linux based operating systems, you can follow this:

1) go to https://fonts.google.com/
2) Download the fonts of your choice.
3) Go to your HOME directory.
4) Go to the .fonts folder (Create one, if it's not created before!)
5) Extract the .ttf files from the downloaded zip folder (fonts.zip) into the .fonts folder.
6) Use the appropriate CSS command with the fonts' family name and it shall work.

Tip: Google Fonts also provide you with the appropriate CSS line of code of the font family you are going to use!

Try clearing the cache in Firefox.

Also consider embedding the fonts so that it is more compatible across all browsers and clients. http://www.google.com/webfonts
