All I know is I like
$ locale
LANG=zh_TW.utf8
LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8
LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_TIME="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_PAPER="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_NAME="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.utf8"

KP> Right, it's the fontconfig-config package which contains the rules

KP> up the test.

# fc-match 'Sans Serif'
bkai00mp.ttf: "AR PL KaitiM Big5" "Regular"
# dpkg -i fontconfig-config_2.4.91-1_all.deb 
Preparing to replace fontconfig-config 2.4.2-1.2 (using 
fontconfig-config_2.4.91-1_all.deb) ...
# fc-match 'Sans Serif'
bkai00mp.ttf: "AR PL KaitiM Big5" "Regular"

And now iceweasel looks pukey again. Same with
fontconfig-config_2.4.2-1.4_all.deb

# dpkg -i fontconfig-config_2.4.2-1.2_all.deb 
dpkg - warning: downgrading fontconfig-config from 2.4.2-1.4 to 2.4.2-1.2.
# fc-match 'Sans Serif'
bkai00mp.ttf: "AR PL KaitiM Big5" "Regular"

Now at least iceweasel looks good again.
So we see fc-match is no indication of what iceweasel will look like.

Anyway, that line of Chinese is merely wrapped in <P> in a
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd";>
file. So maybe you can recreate the view.

Just poking around here while iceweasel looks good,

# fc-match 'Sans Serif'
bkai00mp.ttf: "AR PL KaitiM Big5" "Regular"
# fc-match 'Serif'
bsmi00lp.ttf: "AR PL Mingti2L Big5" "Reguler"
                                        ^^^^ who should I report this to?
