I know what is going on here.  The particular character of OSAKA font at 16 points size is displayed wrongly 
under MacOS.  This is not Mozilla bug.  You can see it happen in any application that can set the font size to 
16 point.  It is either MacOS or Osaka font bug.

I thought this was our mapping error, too.
Thanks, hirata-san. 
Iw as able to find a few editors which let you
set the font size to 16pt, and yes the problem then
appears. 
Mozilla uses pixels and so I thought the default size, 16px,
would be OK but whenever I set it to 16px, it has this problem.
I guess Osaka fonts don't scale correctly to 16px in this
case.
