New description:

 I noticed that some fonts in firefox-x11 render incorrectly, and a message
 is spewed to the console:

 {{{
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GDEF table 0x6EAD
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GSUB table 0x6EAD
 (firefox-bin:37135): Pango-WARNING **: Error loading GPOS table 0x6EAD
 }}}

 The font having trouble is whatever is picked for the boxes in:
 http://fedorasolved.org/mobile/fc-wireless/bcm43xx-yum-extras

 It looks like Courier at first guess, but I haven't looked into it more
 specifically.

 Doing  some searching, I found a similar issue last year regarding a font
 in wireshark (note 0x6ead == 28333):
  * http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2008-April/msg00008.html
  * http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/15052

  * http://graphviz.org/bugs/b1318.html

 The "fix" was to disable the freetype renderer for +quartz... well that's
 all well and good for the +quartz variant, but what about the X11 users?
 It looks like the problem is persisting for X11

Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 As you've found in the links above, I've experienced this problem since
 over a year. I don't know how to fix it.
