10 It means that firefox was looking for this font at 140dpi, and couldn't find it.

12 Assuming that this is actually important, do you have any ~/.gtk*
13 files? If so, do they specify any fonts? (grep -i font ~/.gtk*)
14
15 What dpi is your X server running at? (xdpyinfo | grep -C 5 resolution)
16
17 Finally, what does "xset -q" report for FontPath.
