Ruby character or Rubi character is very common in East Asian language which placed smaller characters above, under or to the right of CJK characters (Chinese, Japanese and Korean) to show the pronunciation. In HTML there are Ruby elements to display ruby characters.
A setence with normal ruby should look like these.

But if the user is using some font with line-height significantly higher than glyph height (Like Source Han Family and PingFang Family which are very common CJK fonts), Firefox displays it like the picture below. Because the line-height of the font is too high, the space between the main character and ruby character is too large, (Incidentally, Safari has the same problem, but Google Chrome can handle this space properly). This is very bad for East Asian language, because the ruby character will propped up the line space.
The ruby character makes the space between the first line and second line far larger than the others, which is bad for Japanese display:
The sample with Source Han Serif under latest Firefox (the space between 超電磁砲 and レールガン is too large):
The sample with Source Han Serif under Google Chrome:
Ruby character is very important in East Asian language, and there are many common CJK fonts(For example, PingFang Family is the default Chinese fonts in Apple devices) with high line height. So, there will have a very negative impact on Asian Firefox users, if Firefox cannot handle the space between ruby characters and main text when the users is using a font has higher line-height than glyph height like Source Han Serif or PingFang TC.
