I don't know what I originally had before I changed it but it did start with un.  I tried a lot of different fonts, but now I am sticking to unJamoNovel size 10, it looks similar to what I originally had.  The funny thing I tried purging firefox, then installing again,  I reinstalled a lot of the dependencies also. but I still have this problem.  I attached an error file to this which was captured using command line firefox 2&> firefox-error.txt.  I also download a copy of firefox:  firefox-3.1b2pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2.  I didn't install it to /usr instead untarred it in a folder in my home directory and made a link to execute firefox from that directory and it works really good, no seg faults just some odd errors that had to do with scim.  It works like it should. if you need
 more information I will be glad to provide you with it anytime.

thank you,

Many times repeated over and over again.

When it crashes at times it will lockup the whole desktop, however ctl-alt-f2
then pkill firefox releases desktop. The other thing I noticed google search
box and address box when entering data moves down to where 20% of font is below
box area.

I upgraded recommended updates but did not notice until I changed the system
application font recently.
