I have had the same problem (had to export, use Quanta to change the 
font, and then print from Firefox), but when I changed the screen 
resolution (in switching from X11 to Xorg, the higher resolutions 
mysteriously disappeared from xorg.conf), to 1600x1200 from 800x600, 
that problem went away.  Check your font settings and your screen 
resolution ...  and don't ask me why the latter should work.
