I'm having a problem with Japanese, Chinese, and Korean text appearing. for example, Wikipedia's home page has the links to the homepages in other languages. Arabic, cryllic, etc. text shows up correctly. but the three I just mentioned doesn't.
I go to websites that use a lot of Japanese characters (kanji) and some Korean (Hangul/Hanja). it's the same on other websites as well.

Observations
a) The error message I see on Horde email is "This message was written in a character set (gbk) other than your own."
b) All the Chinese characters are displayed as the question mark character ("?")
Viewing of Chinese text in Firefox 9 is perfectly fine as I have verified this by downgrading Firefox.
Try to set the Boolean pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page or maybe disable DirectWrite (gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled -> false).
