Can't reproduce here, my screenshot with moderna attached. Does this happen with apps other than evolution? Can you see it in the Gnome menus for example?

It might be an issue with the size of the fonts; a little bit larger and there could be trancation. Sarantis, could you try increasing the size of the font and see if you can reproduce? (I do not have FC4 at the moment).
I can see cropping, but not only at the last character. The evolution buttons have a maximum or fixed size, and anything beyond that size gets truncated. See attachment at comment #4. The whole character at the final sigma is missing. See also the next attachment, which shows the same behavior at a en_US locale using Sans size 11. So, this is a font-independent, locale-independent behavior. I think it shows up in the greek locale, due to the larger space it needs for the function description in the buttons. Closing it NOTABUG. Please file an evolution bug if you think it needs more space for button descriptions in non-English languages.

The problem appears to originate from the on-the-fly chaning of the UI font. When you change font, it appears that the spacing of the characters is not updated on the fly as well; you simply need to restart to fix this problem. Therefore, it still remains as NOTABUG per se but a feature in the on-the-fly mechanism, when changing fonts. It could be posted as a bug to GTK+.
