I don't. Here's a way to explore. First isolate and save the mojibake: 

   fc-list | grep Motoya | cut -d ',' -f 3 | cut -d ':' -f 1 >foo

Then try converting the mojibake from many different encodings, 
a few of which to try could be: 

   iconv -f SJIS -t utf-8 <foo
   iconv -f SJIS-WIN -t utf-8 <foo
   iconv -f SJIS-OPEN -t utf-8 <foo
   iconv -f EUCJP -t utf-8 <foo
   iconv -f ISO-2022-JP -t utf-8 <foo

In all this stuff, I recommend avoiding handling the mojibake 
by cutting and pasting. Use pipes and I/O redirection instead. 

By the way, what's the license on those fonts?
