No, fonts in Mozilla without GTK-2 support are broken.

You can workaround the problem by removing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts from
/usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/fonts.conf, then running fc-cache -f -v.  I'm
trying to get an acceptable solution after analyzing all the variables. 
It will probably take some time, however.
