If you are using non-anti-aliased fonts, then it might be a known
libcairo2 bug:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg00992.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/07/msg01023.html
The easiest workaround seems to be to switch to anti-aliased GUI fonts.
Downgrading libcairo2 is also possible, but it might be annoying since
many other packages depend on the newest version.
