[solved] firefox wrong font size?

Hi there, since I am on Arch (1 year by now) firefox shows some websites wrong. It seems to be the font size. Attached are two screenshots from http://demo.owncloud.org/index.php/

The upper one shows Arch, the lower one shows Ubuntu. You can see that firefox in Arch needs two rows where Ubuntu´s ff only need one. The settings in preferences/content are the same.

You must be using DejaVu Sans as your default sans font in Arch. Pick a different one, e.g. the one from Ubuntu, and set it as the default one.

Also check DPI settings.

xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot

DPI can be set in firefox also - see thread.
