In <alt.os.linux.slackware> newsgroup, I was pointed to something called
Cyberbit TTF font.  
    ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/extras/fonts/windows/Cyberbit.ZIP
So, I installed it under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, and it works!
Full instruction has been posted to the newsgroup, since this seems to
be Slackware issue.

To those of you whose Firefox works out of box, can you check your
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/, and see if it contains anything other
than 'Vera*' and 'luxi*'?
