Sorry to flood, but this Debian issue seems to be the same thing too:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=471642
In message 27 of that bug, the guy mentions that after removing pango-
graphite, he saw problems with "wrong display of digits (mixture of sans
serif and serif fonts)" go away in addition to Firefox crashes.
I wasn't seeing any Firefox crashes, but I was seeing some weird font
issues. My clock applet was showing a "0" glyph that was either the
wrong size or from a different font. Also, I tried to use ghex to check
out a BIOS image I downloaded and the hex values were not lining up in
columns. When I scrolled or clicked on the values, I'd get weird jumpy
text and strange rendering artifacts. After removing pango-graphite,
these problems went away for me as well.
In a couple of the threads I found through searching for "pango-graphite
crash", I saw mentions of NVIDIA cards. FWIW, I'm using the proprietary
NVIDIA driver (version 190.53 from the nvidia-vdpau PPA). I was also
seeing this issue with the previous driver (180.something I think).
