May be an artifact of Mozilla disabling the use of the graphite2 font rendering library (for security reasons), but I don't know enough to say for sure.
Comment 3 Alexander Krylov 2016-06-14 00:13:20 CEST 
Changing gfx.font_rendering.graphite.enabled to "true" makes no difference.
Comment 4 Marja Van Waes 2016-06-16 20:11:14 CEST 
Assigning to all packagers collectively, since there is no maintainer for this package.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

> I assume this got fixed long ago?

Ah, yes it is.
As was hinted in this thread: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3559 the fix was a manual installation of sazanami-mincho-fonts package. Funny thing is, I didn't had such problem in Mageia 4, so either sazanami-mincho-fonts was removed during MGA4 -> MGA5 process or something has changed in font packaging policy somewhere back then.
