[wplug] Firefox: fails to find foreign fonts?

[Brandon Kuczenski]

I'm using Firefox (1.0.6) on a Debian system with Gnome 2.6.1.  Often when 
I visit webpages with foreign fonts (or possibly unicode?) I get little 
boxes with numbers in them, instead of being able to see the actual fonts. 
The simplest reproducible example is at news.google.com, at the bottom of 
the page where it has links to "International versions of Google News" I 
get box[4E/2D], box[56/FD], box[72/48] in front of "(China)"; and similar 
for Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan.  I do not know if I have 
appropriate fonts installed.

How do I add aditional font support?  is this a Firefox issue, a Gnome 
issue, a Debian issue, or other?

Thanks in advance,
Brandon
