I would try to disable bitmap fonts. (The rest looks good to me.) You
can run (as root)
dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config
and choose "No" for "Enable bitmapped fonts by default?" (This is the
last question that you will be asked.) Then you can restart X and check
if this improves things. (Normally it does.)

You can try if you like font hinting by running (under X)
echo -e "Xft.hinting: 1\nXft.hintstyle: hintfull" | xrdb -merge
You can also try "hintslight" and "hintmedium" instead of "hintfull".
You have to restart iceweasel after making a change to see the effect.
Some people even prefer to turn off antialiasing. This is all somewhat
subjective and also depends on which fonts and which display you use.
Once you find your preferred settings you can make them permanent by
putting them into ~/.Xresources or by using the GUI font setup tool of
your desktop environment.
