Can you give me a site using the characters in question?  I have no
problem displaying non-Roman (Cyrillic in this case) characters, as well
as Japanese Kanji in Mozilla _with_ Xft support enabled.  In fact,
http://www.kr.freebsd.org/ looks fine to me, too with Xft.

With all font issues in Mozilla, you must have fontconfig, freetype2,
and Xft ports up-to-date.  If you add new fonts, make sure you add them
to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, ~/.fonts, or, if another location, make
sure you add that location to /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/local.conf per the
instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x-fonts.html#ANTIALIAS

Then run fc-cache -f as root.
