That's obviously a font problem, change your font and see if the same thing happens.
BTW does it only happen on Firefox?

Try using a different font, you never know if doing a -syu could corrupt something. You won't find the solution if you don't find the cause.

[Edit] Also try reinstalling Firefox.
