Any gliph that uses text shadow makes a blocky text shadow under it.
It happens in may places including but not only:
Pages in firefox in which the text uses the css property text-shadow
Gnome-Do results list (see screenshot attached)
Empathy themes with shadows.
Terminal with transparent background.
It happens using both compiz and metacity.
