James,
Hi and I think you are right on with this analysis. I suspect my
fontconfig utilty isn't working correctly to add new fonts or maybe
Mozilla doesn't install in the right config area. When I start up FF 52.8,
no error messages about fonts. The de-install seemed to correct this, among
other things.
In answer to Liam's question re gedit -- then answer is NO -- no bad
output.
I am on 32-bit CentOS 6.10 at the moment. I HAD to switch back to FF 52.8
because 60.1 just really wasn't working. So, I won't be doing any more
testing with 60.1 *for a while*.
