So the fix is dead simple. It’s a bug in WenQuanYi Micro Hei. Debian already patched it, Ubuntu just took Debian’s work, but our great Fedora naturally has to 自分らしく生きている, so of course nobody fixed it there.

The workaround is easy — go read the ever-righteous Arch Linux wiki

or just yank the font straight out of Debian’s repos

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/fonts-wqy-microhei

Unpack the ttc and replace your current font with it. You don’t even need to refresh the font cache or restart the browser.
