I could work around the problem by applying the fix in 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=444811#15
which disables all fonts in /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/. It works
for me, but it should work out of the box; not sure who exactly is at
fault here.

It might also be related to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553580.

Greetings,
Joachim
