Firefox missing fixedsys and terminal fonts?

I know I have the fixedsys and terminal font installed in the windows font folder, however, they don't show up when selecting for a font in the Tools>Options>Content>fonts & colors. The drop down list of fonts don't show it at all.

I have chrome and they show in there.

Apparently firefox doesn't seem to see that the fonts exist at all, since attempting to display a webpage with these fonts makes it default to times new roman.

I want these fonts back, how do I get them?

If that are old bitmap fonts then they may no longer work in Firefox 8+.
You will need true type or open type vector fonts.

Does this mean that there is no way to get these raster/bitmap fonts back for usage in firefox? I personally preferred usage of fixedsys for some websites I visit, especially those related to programming. If it's at all possible, I would like to get them back.

There should be plenty of monospace fonts available that you can use instead of bitmap fonts. Bitmap font can't be enlarged like vector font and will show blocky.
