Firefox installed in Archlinux can display fonts after a new fonts installed
Hi! I'm a Linux user. Recently I migrate to Archlinux. At first time I used Firefox without issues. Then in the process the install and config software and the distro I installed new fonts. That fonts I used in IBM Linux distro, OpenClient based on RHEL 6.5. Thats fonts are a backup of that machine. The set of fonts include around of 4000 fonts: Windows 7 Fonts, Google Fonts, Droid and others. In RHEL I have not issues with this fonts. The fonts groups are:
[elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$ ls -l total 272 drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Sep 8 2010 AnonymousPro-1.002.001 drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Sep 8 2010 AnonymousProMinus-1.002.001 drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Feb 27 2011 dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.33 drwx------ 1 elrengo users 4096 Jun 10 2013 DroidFamily drwx------ 1 elrengo users 135168 Jun 4 2012 googlefontdirectory -rw------- 1 elrengo users 58464 Jun 10 2013 Inconsolata.otf drwx------ 1 elrengo users 65536 Oct 3 2013 Windows7Fonts [elrengo@xpsl421x .fonts]$
But in Archlinux after fonts installation Firefox can not show fonts, and I can not write in textbox. I do:
- Reset Firefox to defaults --> Do not works.
- Uninstall Firefox / Re install Firefox --> Do not works.
- Reinstall fontconfig package in Archlinux. --> Do not works.
- Update font cache --> Do not works.

I ran that commands to resolve the issue:
find /usr/share/fonts -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod o=rx find /usr/share/fonts -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod o=r
The command will be excuted as root not with sudo.

If Firefox does not anti-alias and/or hint your fonts, try to install ttf-win7-fonts (preferred) or ttf-ms-fonts and take a look at Font configuration.
