Mike, in addition to my earlier message.  you might try to package some of 
your fonts and install them via a RPM file so that they get added to the font 
cache as well as the font path.  adding them using XFS and using xfontsel 
does not add them to the free type cache.  Firefox uses the free type fonts 
if it can find them.  I have packaged several fonts in an RPM to install them 
on my FC3 box here and when I installed them they worked perfectly. you can 
find the rpm here  http://www.skinartz.com/msfonts-1.2.1-1.noarch.rpm
