You can also do the following:

Open terminal and type:

gedit ~/.fonts.config

and enter the text:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font">
  <edit mode="assign" name="antialias">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
  <edit mode="assign" name="hinting">
   <bool>true</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>

save it and that is all, this should fix the font and Firefox and should not brake the fonts of VLC, VirtualBox or SMPlayer and if the fonts were broken it should fix it....
