Mozilla is using the new version of Xft which is based on the fontconfig 
library.  That configuration file is in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.  Stick your 
directories in that file and Moz will be able to find them.

Xft exposes only Unicode encodings for all fonts. As mozilla uses Unicode 
(UCS2) internally, this has only salutory effects on the internal code and 
displayable characters.
