Ok, mozilla rc3 with ttf support is in the apt-repository.  I'm rebuilding the
repository now.

Edit your unix.js like this:

$ locate unix.js
/usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js

$ vi /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js

// TrueType
pref("font.FreeType2.enable", true);
pref("font.freetype2.shared-library", "libfreetype.so.6");

// sample prefs for TrueType font dirs
pref("font.directory.truetype.1", "/usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType");
pref("font.directory.truetype.2", "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF");
pref("font.directory.truetype.3", "/staff/tanner/.kde/share/fonts/TrueType");
pref("font.directory.truetype.4", "/path/to/fonts");
