Understood.
But since I don't have a similar testing environment set up here to make
comparisons, I thought I'd mention it.
Just in case, I run:
$ fc-match verdana
$ fc-match sans
Actually my first reaction to your initial post was thi s:

But, it looks like I was barking the wrong tree since you later wrote
that this affected all .ttf's.
One other detail that I found a little odd is that you mention setting
the font to 10pt in Iceweasel since Seamonkey's Preferences dialog uses
pixels as the font size unit.
I guess I should boot into my Squeeze partition and install Iceweasel
and see if I understand this better.
Although things are likely to be different since I did a dist-upgrade on
a lenny clone rather than a fresh install.
