Bug Description

In ubuntu touch OTA15 on a meizu pro5.
After installing gsfonts package. Meaning that you make the root readwrite and run: sudo apt-get install gsfont.
At least some pages will render badly: the numbers are rendered as bubbles and there are no spaces between words.
example:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitive_power_supply

Would you mind attaching a screenshot (or picture) of the wrong rendering?

Sure, here you go. The first picture is with gsfonts package installed, the second (in which you can actually read the page) is with gsfonts package removed.

I can reliably observe the issue on my MX4 running rc-proposed.
Note that I’m not seeing that on desktop, even after installing gsfonts-x11.
