this is likely the same issue as tracked in

* Bug #1450675 “Text is displayed cut in half (rev >= 12488)”
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1450675

Known workaround for fonts which trigger these (among other factors zoom-dependent) artifacts with Inkscape's renderer (also affects bitmap export): once the text content is determined and styled as intended, convert the text to path (Shift+Ctrl+C). If later edits are to be expected, keep a copy of the original text on a hidden layer.
