Using a current Debian testing system, I just stumbled across the same problem as Laurent trying to view the files in
http://cairographics.org/talks/xdevconf_2005_02_13/svg/ I changed the requisite setting using "about:config" in the location bar, so "font.FreeType2.enable" is now set to "true" in my user "prefs.js" file under ~/.mozilla/. One problem that I then encountered, looking at the files under the above address is that instead of the correct text, the browser chooses inappropriate fonts, apparently ignoring the Mozilla font settings. In fact, first it tried to display the SVG files using whacky mathematical symbols instead of the correct letters. This was due to the latex-xft-fonts package, where these symbols are not in their correct Unicode positions (which I consider a bug of that package, and a grave one at that). After removing latex-xft-fonts, the text in the SVG files is now rendered legibly, but still using other fonts than the one specified in the Mozilla preferences: from the looks of it, some East Asian fonts that contain aesthetically offensive Latin glyphs. So all in all, it looks like the font selection problem should be fixed first before changing the font.FreeType2.enable setting. But I would definitely love to see any action on this bug, considering how old it is, and that it completely prevents the display of any SVG files containing text, in spite of the fact that it seems to be the package's intention to enable SVG as such.
