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.

Comment 12 Parag Nemade 2008-11-10 11:47:15 UTC
can we have this bug fixed in new xulrunner package built for F9 and F10 updates?
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.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.
