Yes it does.   We fixed this a while ago in the development branch
(aka OpenSolaris/Solaris Express) by changing the name embedded in
those font files:
-FONT -Sun-Serif-Medium-R-Normal-Serif-10-100-72-72-M-70-ISO8859-1
+FONT -Sun-SunSerif-Medium-R-Normal-Serif-10-100-72-72-M-70-ISO8859-1

It looks like this is in the process of being backported to a
Solaris 10 patch under the bug id:
6330987 Mozilla can not display italic characters

but it doesn't appear to be available yet.

Try fixing the typo in "family".   (It's always much easier to
see everyone else's typos than your own.)
