Though the problem have bee resolved, I still thank you Dennis.  And,
I like to tell you, I can not tell what font the firefox is using,
because all it's font setting for Western and Chinese are all
Serif/Sans Serif.  It seems, that is font-config who is playing in the
background to select fonts for firefox.  But I don't know how this
works.  Would anyone tell me?

Thanks.
