This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Modifying the configration of fontconfig.properties.

for example.

DEFAULT

 sequence.serif.windows-31j=alphabetic,japanese,dingbats,symbol

WORKAROUND

sequence.serif.windows-31j=japanese,dingbats,symbol

But when using workaround configration, Alphabet/Nums are printing by Japanese font.
It looks, when changing font face or configuration, start coordination is reseted.
