OK, I tried this on my work system (G3 dual processor, software near identical to TiBook). This time I installed mozilla-browser-xft2 and everything else it wanted (after a couple of system-xfree86-43 tweaks).
Now I don't have the zillions of font errors...but I also have no fonts, except Bitstream, 2 Couriers, 3 Luxis and Utopia, none of which were selected when it first opened up. (And it looks terrible, and the fonts don't resize well at all.) I only have FreeType2 and FreeType2-shlibs installed on this system. So I guess I'm still missing something crucial in how the fonts are meant to work. Any ideas?
