Firefox - no fonts ?

Hi ! I've reinstalled Arch after trying out Ubuntu for a few months. I was less than impressed, but that's not for this forum.

I had some problems after installing and I still have some, but tinkering with the OS is part of the fun. However, this has me stumped :

As you can see, this particular page in Firefox does not show any "real" font. It does show up regularly in Konqueror though. I've set my Firefox fonts as the same in Konqueror, but no result.

Anybody has any idea of what's going wrong ?

Check DPI. It is also a good idea to make a new profile in Firefox, to check if the current profile is broken.

My font sizes in firefox change every now and then, sometimes after an arch upgrade they will shrink and I have to use ctrl+ to read some pages. Another upgrade later on will put them back to normal.

I never had this problem with either ubuntu or gentoo.
