Font problems after system upgrade

After upgrading my system, some font styles are not displaying properly. Specifically, it looks like any text that should be bold is now being displayed in a different (regular weight, monospaced) font. The font package I use is "ttf-droid". Everything looks fine, except for bold text. This only seems to affect firefox, although I don't have many graphical applications to test. So far I've tried reinstalling fontconfig, ttf-droid, and running various `fc-cache` commands. I've read the fontconfig page, but I still don't fully understand how to use it, so any help would be appreciated.

Here is the pacman.log from the upgrade that caused the problem
