Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 5 provided with Hardy.
When navigating to a Japanese page using UTF-8 encoding, rendering issues are experienced. It's difficult to detail the issue in writing, so I've linked a number of screenshots with steps to reproduce the bug.
This appears to effect only Japanese pages using UTF-8. Other non-Western languages using UTF-8 (Arabic, Korean, Chinese, etc.) render with no trouble. Additionally, pages using other Japanese encodings (EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, ISO-2022-JP) render properly.

Edit: Reflected change from Beta 4 to Beta 5.
Huh.
Fixed the issue by setting anti-aliasing to "true" in my .fonts.conf.

Rendering issues are only experienced when it is set to "false".
I've attached my current .fonts.conf in case it's of any use.
