Bug#376714: Texts disappear after upgrade

[pachi at rvburke.com]

After the last update, probably the one upgrading to cairo 1.2, all
desktop applications had disappearing fonts. They only show the first word
in each line, and everything else is invisible until moving the mouse over
it. When the mouse pointer goes over some invisible text, it's correctly
displayed.

The problem can be seen on the desktop icon texts, evolution, all gnome
dialogs...

I attach two screenshots where this can be seen.

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8200, with a nvidia GeForce2 Go video card,
running with the free "nv" drivers and the vesa framebuffer.
