Hi William,
This is a known issue of cairo library.
You can disable "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" in Firefox and
select a true type font instead bitmap font.
Or you can add a file in your home directory.
$cat ~/.fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<!-- ~/.fonts.conf file to configure system font access -->
<fontconfig>
<!-- Reject bitmap fonts in favour of Truetype, Postscript, etc. -->
<selectfont>
<rejectfont>
<pattern>
<patelt name="scalable"><bool>false</bool></patelt>
</pattern>
</rejectfont>
</selectfont>
</fontconfig>
Thanks,
Ginn
