Firefox font weirdness

I'm fairly technically minded myself, but I can't work out what's causing this niggling font problem - does anyone have any ideas?
First, (after the break if you're looking at the preview!) an image to illustrate:
The problem is with the rendering of text written in Edwardian Script ITC. Firefox 3.5.5 (Linux version) completely and utterly mangles the text, whereas Midori (a lightweight Webkit based browser) renders it fine - as does Openoffice.org Writer if I copy/paste it from FF into there, and even the Windoze version of FF 3.5.5 (running under Wine) has no problems with it. So evidently the font is installed correctly, but something is causing Linux FF to mangle it. Oh, and changing the character encoding from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 or even Windows-1252 has no effect (oh well, worth a try...)
