This is the same problem as in #107952.
The problem is that the Kochi Gothic and Kochi Mincho fonts don't support
English ("en") according to fontconfig, since they don't contain accented
characters sometimes used in English to write loanwords.  When in an English
Unicode locale, Mozilla assumes that the document is English, and prefers fonts
which support English (according to fontconfig) to all those which don't. 
Hence, it picks MiscFixed (which supports lots of languages, including both jp
and en) over the Kochi fonts for rendering Japanese glyphs in a webpage that it
assumes is English.
