 I could not reproduce your bug wit dejava at size 1 or 30, with cairo
 or xft, with full or no hinting.  I'm pretty sure this is font
 specific, so I would recommend you upgrade cairo, freetype, and your
 font package to the latest versions and try again whether you get the
 bug with dejavu.  If you don't get it with dejavu, for example with:
  pango-view --backend=cairo --hinting=full --font="dejavu 1" -t "夏影"

 then I think it's a problem specific to your font, but I'm not sure
 who's to blame.  If you reproduce it with dejavu, then I have no idea
 what to try.

 Where can I get your font?

   Bye,
