I have a guess here. I'm thinking that this is only happening when Firefox is compiled with system cairo. If that's the case, search the firefox layout code for a commented pango_cairo_font_get_scaled_font(). Uncommenting that line may fix it. That's my wild guess anyway.

SRPM is available at http://paragn.fedorapeople.org/firefox-3.0.x/xulrunner-1.9.0.2-6.fc10.src.rpm I did koji scratch build also but not sure why it failed for x86_64 arch. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=924216
Yes it would be very good to have this patch for fedora.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
