I just noticed that this font (and many others) are marked as "experimental" even in the most recent version of the source [0] [1]. So it might be broken in some scenarios.
I opened an issue to clarify if that might be the case [2]. Meanwhile, if you change your XFCE font settings like mentioned above, does it help?
