No, it definitely does.  It's just that strange fonts get chosen when
you disable it with GDK_USE_XFT.  I think it's probably easier to deal
with this via mozilla build options though.

Is there a way to build gtk2 so that it doesn't have Xft/fontconfig
support at all?  I haven't seen it in the build documentation, so I'm
guessing there's no way around it there.
