Firefox shows no text in menus or buttons, after tinkering with gtk

Hello, first post one this forum.

Well, I have an ugly problem. I wanted gtk apps to look like Qt, because GTK sucks for not integrating for crap into the kde desktop, unlike the Qt toolkit.... Anyways, it works quite well, the integration, after trying the 'gtk-demo' app, to preview it, better than nothing.

After experimenting with it a lot, installing the gtk-qt-engine package many times, including from source, then uninstalling them all and installing the 'gtk-qt-engine' package, it finally worked.

So I open up firefox and to my dismay, am met with the disability to navigate...really, at all, in firefox. I tried wiping the .mozilla folder, the .gtk2 folder, and any dot folder I could find that related to gtk settings... No avail.

I'm running kde from svn (trunk) by the way.

Look at this image.. it's horrible isn't it?
It would be nice if I could haz my text back

The below output is what is thrown to the terminal, which seems like it is *probably* related, considering it is talking about negative font sizes

Try posting in the Mozilla forums, may be some dev will be able to give you some direction on the matter... it's all I can think of.

Please use code tags for terminal output, log extracts, etc. I have fixed it for you this time.
