Bug Description
If you select any text in a line on certain pages, some characters, particularly the last character in the line, are slightly mutilated. This has happened to me on several websites such as slashdot, and occurs mainly with the letter 'r' and the quotation mark. Screenshots demonstrating the problem are below. This is in firefox 1.5 in dapper. I was unable to reproduce this behavior in debian unstable's firefox version, which leads me to believe it is specific to ubuntu.

Note in particular the quotation mark at the end of the paragraph. The mutilation of the 'r' is harder to see, but go ahead and play around with selecting text on slashdot, and hopefully you'll get the same results I did.
