Can you post a screenshot?

Have you read the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Vietnamese ? Maybe you need to install additional font packages.

Yes , i read and  saw the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration , or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox , but i am not sure which page is setting my problem .

This is LinuxMint use firefox to preview web site

You can install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo … nt-finder/ to see which fonts are being used on Linux Mint and which ones on Arch.

Try installing infinality bundle https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … repository I'm using it and I my firefox shows these sites in a similar way to your screenshots from Linux Mint: http://imgur.com/TYEUnSP
The only font package I've installed is ttf-dejavu.

Did you install freetype2-infinality-ultimate or freetype2 package?
I didn't change any configs, it just works for me.
