Nakai.

Sample URL you show is not good.
Did you check the source of 
http://www.gnome.gr.jp/docs/glib-2.2.x-refs/glib/index.html

At the header region, the following attribute is set though the page
is written with UTF-8.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

And the body
<div class="book" lang="en">

In this case, mozilla recognize that the document is written with
ISO-8859-1 and language is English.

Mozilla shows the page exactly with the information from the HTML source.

I don't know how mozilla decides the fonts to display but I guess the
following. Note that my guess is only my impression. I never checked
the source of mozilla.

1. get information from the HTML source.
2. mozilla tries to show the page using the font settings of the 
   language information from the HTML source.
3. if some glyphs are not included in the fonts selected in the step
2, mozilla searches the fonts that have all glyphs with the order of
charset alphabetically.

That page discusses for Windows OSs but is similar to this bug.

gedit problem in this bug is the another problem
