In (X)Ubuntu precise (12.04), the font rendering of changed text parts is broken. It seems as if the kerning is not evaluated correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
- compare to files with differences
- the changed parts will have partially unreadable characters, looking as if multiple characters are rendered atop of each other instead of next to each other

Selecting the incorrectly rendered parts of the text magically fixes the rendering inside the selection, but just 'moves' the broken rendering outside of the selection.

Here is a screenshot of both cases:
