Broken fonts in firefox

Hey

I registered, the fonts in firefox are broken till one of the last updates of $something. It's not xfce4 and it's not firefox directly, tested all. Here is an example from the menu from xfce-look.org.

Working fonts on the workstation:

Broken fonts on the laptop:

Can't see what bad happens there... anyone same problems?

It's the fontconfig package. Reinstall it and read the warnings/messages to know what to do (I can't tell by heart).

Re: Broken fonts in firefox

Are you using Firefox2? Try changing dpi settings.
