Firefox 3.0 is rendering text incorrectly
This is the third site that I have posted this issue at, and not a single person has helped me thus far. I am running Hardy Heron on an Intel pc. I have been using Firefox-3.0 since its Beta testing stages. At one point I installed 2.0.0.14 as a stable version and all hell broke loose on every version of Firefox-3.0 I've had since then. All text, whether it's on a webpage or in option menus, context menus, etc... has enormous spaces between every word. It makes using the browser exceedingly unintelligible. I've been forced to use Seamonkey as a browser just to deal with this issue.

Now, I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this issue, including but not limited to completely uninstalling all components of firefox - all version, all extensions, renaming the home directory file, making new user profiles, searching and deleting every file and directory on my / directory with "mozilla" and "firefox" in it, and doing fresh installs of the final release of 3.0 ... to no avail. I am about at wit's end and am considering trashing 3.0 for good.
I've gotten a few errors in the error console that are font related and listed in the known bugs. They are.
Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/
Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/
and a bunch of these type ones:
Warning: Error in parsing value for property 'font'. Declaration dropped.

I would very much appreciate the help, and thank you.
