It was the environment vairable problem. I had set the environment variable
MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 using what was mentioned in wikipedia and had then
restarted the machine.
i.e. i did some thing like this
$>MOZ_ENABLE_PANGO=1 firefox
so after restarting this env variable must have gone away.
Thanks all you guys for your support, I did set the MOZ_DISBALE_PANGO=0 also
before retrrying just to be sure.
And ya my firefox is compiled with the --enable-pango flag, here is the
