Check /etc/fonts/fonts.conf ... this is used with xfree-4.2.1 and not
/etc/X11/XftConfig.  I am guessing you have an config file for XftConfig
that needs updating ...

Anyhow, works fine this side .. what version mozilla ?  If you have time,
try to remerge xfree .. some revisions back it mangled the fonts.dir files ...
