Yeah I did in the end. Not sure exactly what made it work but this is what I currently have:
 
in my ~/.zprofile:
envfile="$HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.env" if [[ -e "$envfile" ]] && kill -0 $(grep GPG_AGENT_INFO "$envfile" | cut -d: -f 2) 2>/dev/null; then     eval "$(cat "$envfile")" else     eval "$(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support --write-env-file "$envfile")" fi export GPG_AGENT_INFO  # the env file does not contain the export statement export SSH_AUTH_SOCK   # enable gpg-agent for ssh GPG_TTY=$(tty) export GPG_TTY In ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf I have:
use-agent And eselect pinentry set to
pinentry-qt I'm using this with PassFF addon for firefox so whenever it fills login forms when I want it to and doesn't ask me every time for the master password for a set amount of time.

I've solved this, it turns out that for some reason my qtchooser directory and settings was wiped out, creating them manually fixed the issues I was having.

Just that

You got me thinking 666threesixes666 Looks like the driver is still in development for this particular issue, I found out that the git version of x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati recently had a commit which solves this. I just emerged it and sure enough it does fix it. I've updated the wiki for the radeon drivers to reflect this, it'll be quite a big thing for people like when that commit gets released.

Right click on the ugly fonts and Inspect Element>Computed (on the right hand side). There should be an entry for 'font-family', I think the one in quotes " " should be the one used. Then if you click on Fonts you can see the font you are using, so for example Computed might tell you Arial (which is what the website wants to use) and Fonts will tell you Liberation Sans (which is the font your computer has set as a replacement/alias for Arial) and this is the one it is using to display the page.
 
You can use 'eselect fontconfig list' to see which rule you have enabled, perhaps you can just enable a few more fonts there. I personally don't really bother with that though and just enable the user.conf in eselect and set up rules for fonts in ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf. The simplest solution for fonts.conf I've found is using the croscorefonts and the config on the arch wiki here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Croscore_Fonts, you could change this for your own choice of fonts, Arimo is very similar to liberation sans.
 
Alternatively, there is now an ebuild for infinality-fontconfig-ultimate in the gentoo/funtoo tree (media-fonts/infinality-ultimate-meta) so that would be the quickest and easiest way to get decent fonts, although perhaps not the lightest way.
 
One other thing to mention is that if you emerge media-fonts/liberation-fonts make sure you don't get the 2.* version, it is has bugs with bold fonts (terrible kerning and uneven spacing), I read somewhere, the red hat bug tracker I think, that the 2.* series was abandoned and the fixes were put in to 1.*. Interestingly enough 2.* is marked as stable in funtoo's tree and 1.* as current but my system installed 2.* automatically probably because the version number was higher.

I've been looking at this again and I think I've found the source of the problem. I came across a bug report which suggested disabling gstreamer in about:config, so I did that and sure enough I had no more problems. The only issue is that I want gstreamer support.
 
This is the report, the last post is exactly what happens to me as well:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=935458
 
I've narrowed it down to gstreamer and the gst-plugins, in particular media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg. I was using this, along with a couple of others, as an alternative to flash for sites like soundcloud. As a course of trying to get the exact problem causing package I have added an removed practically all the gst plugins, both 0.x and 1.x. I found that while sites like soundcloud do work with media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg installed, gmail's chat has a problem with it and causes the whole browser to not terminate after being closed.
 
I found this http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-ffmpeg/gst-ffmpeg-1.x-README.txt
 
 
 
So would it be that firefox it probably build against a version that uses libav? Would this be considered a bug as far as funtoo's adoption of ffmpeg?
 
This is pretty annoying, it means I either have to compile firefox myself or use the bin version with flash, which I would prefer not to do.
 
 
 
 
edit: finally solved it. The bin version of firefox uses the 0.10.x versions of the gst-plugins. With good, bad and ugly 0.10.x versions installed gst-plugins-ffmpeg doesn't cause gmail to hang and gst-plugins-mad allows sites like soundcloud and bandcamp to work. I'm sure I did try this along the way but something must have been missing.

Thought I would post a follow up to this and mark it as solved. I started to have a look in to the message I was getting when I got a kernel panic, it turned out to be related to scheduling so I tried disabling BFS and sure enough there have been no more issues.

Looks like I've finally solved this, I downloaded the 64 bit demo of renoise and it worked in that too. Seems that the ebuild I used for renoise doesn't work quite right.

Dantrell managed to get to the bottom of this - https://bugs.funtoo.org/browse/FL-1443
Thanks for the help all around.
