font problems in firefox, thunderbird,.. gtk?

[Jan Zach]

Yes, I have read this. And also used. I cannot remember why I disabled it after the problems began. The ~/.fonts.conf is attached. It evidently affects the fonts in the sense that they are not blurred now but still  I'm getting different fonts on every start - for instance, sometimes I'm getting fonts without diacritics, in all cases they differ from usual firefox/thunderbird default fonts.
Unfortunately I'm not able to send a screenshot as xgrab results in a core dump and on a picture from camera it cannot be seen :-(
