By default, Mozilla will build with Xft support. If you don't want anti-aliased fonts, you can specify -DWITHOUT_XFT to disable this. Simply building Mozilla should result in a working version. It works just fine for me. Some users have reported problems if they do not have the latest freetype2 installed, or if they have bad fonts installed. > > Ran fc-cache as root, same error when I try to start Mozilla.

It might help if you run ./mozilla -g, then send a back trace if it happens to crash.
