This behavior is due to an X server bug, (which is still open), but was only exposed due to a specific way text was drawn in version 1.2.0 of cairo. The newer cairo version (1.2.2) fixes the bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7494 The next update of fc6 will have a newer cairo, so the bug should be gone then. In the meantime, you could upgrade cairo or else switch to antialiased fonts, (since the X server bug only occurs for fonts without antialiasing). -Carl
