Jib, the issue you describe with the screenshot (thanks, you show eloquently the issue) is related to "kerning", that is, the special placement of characters that depends on which others are around them. For example, "i" is rendered differently if it is "Wi" or if it is "fi".

Could you please
1) file a new bug report under the "pango" product
2) add this attachment to the bug report, using the "Add Attachment" link on the right of the page
3) Click on "Subscribe someone else" at the new bug report and subscribe me (simosx).

There is a discussion on this issue at the DejaVu mailing list, and currently it tends towards an issue in Pango.

Thanks for reporting!
