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. -- Regards, Florian
