See the comment on bug 264300 for the correct method to use to solve this.

I'd suggest "Arial Unicode MS" as the font to use. 
On a stock Windows XP, you will not have it, and replacements are not ideals. I
tried Dotum which is a very complete font, but looks quite strange. Well, it was
the less bad choice, the chinese fonts were worse (get out your Windows XP
install disk and check on how to get more fonts from it if you don't have this
font).

I have both Arial Unicode MS and Sylfaen installed. Also Internet Explorer as 
well as Opera displayes title bar correctly only Firefox (as well as 
Thunderbird!) display the titlebar as ???? marks.

So it was not the same bug 264300 after all. Sorry.

And how is it now for Thunderbird ?

Anything different between the first and the second install of Firefox ?
