With pango 1.20.0 and DejaVu Sans font text is sometimes misaligned (a
clear example is the properties dialog in eog), or corrupted (which
makes xchat nearly unusable). The digits in DejaVu Sans are rendered in
a different way than previous versions and when a line of text contains
digits, it is drawn some pixels below where it should.

In the case of xchat, it seems like if pango computed the line length
normally, but rendered the text with too big whitespace and it got
clipped. (this is whith "Monospace 9" font).

I'm not sure about the severity, the bug is annoying most of the time
but xchat is nearly unusable.

I could send some screenshots if you want.

Regards,
Jaime
