Well, "properly" sounds like vague and it may be hard to understand for non-CJK people what's wrong. that screenshot shows some characters though, it looks like the baseline of glyphs are lower than what we expected. so the bottom of glyphs are rendered to out of rectangle.

Created attachment 124028 [details] screesshot ontained from <http://image.yahoo.com.cn/> Tested with firefox-1.5-5, there is still some layout issues. As tagoh-san mentioned in Comment #2, one of the issue indeed could be due the baseline of glyhs setting lower than expected.
firefox-1.5.0.6 looks much better than the previous versions. need to confirm if there are still any pages having this issue.
