If I read the CSS correctly, the buttons use "font-family: verdana".

Check if there is any difference for

fc-match verdana

between the two Sid installations.

You may have to add something like this to ~/.fonts.conf:

 <alias>
 <family>verdana</family>
   <prefer>
     <family>Liberation Sans</family>
   </prefer>
 </alias>

Another possibility is to use the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, if
you can accept having non-free (in the DFSG sense) Microsoft fonts on
your system. (This package is in "contrib".)
