Unfortunately, I have never seen that behavior on mozilla by switching on the fonts in the file. I also copied over TT fonts from a windows install and used a downloaded mozilla. I reread over a few of the websites which include hacking mozilla files to get better font support and I did not see any additional references to the problem. One other thing you could do is find an XFT enabled mozilla package. As an example, I recently found a Mozilla-Firebird XFT enabled tarball which I downloaded. It was built on debian unstable so it works very well and finds all the fonts correctly. Have you checked out Mozilla-Firebird? Its available as a debian package as well. Sorry I don't have a good answer on the font issue with the downloaded Mozilla. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
