Comment 8 for bug 194170

Hi, sorry for the long delay in replying. I've been running without ttf-arphic-* installed for a while, as fontconfig-voodoo tended to change some system fonts to be harder to read for english. I've reinstalled ubuntu lately on a new laptop, and found a much more severe bug - see #256254 - which renders firefox unusable at all on some sites (not just individual characters, but entire pages will be misrendered with the ttf-arphic-* fonts installed).
