Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox

Sometimes Firefox only displays the first word in a headline. It happens on all kinds of websites, but not all the time. I have not found a way to reproduce it all of the time, but it happens nearly 50% of pageloads.
The space for the following words is reserved, but the words are only shown when selected (see attached screen shot).
It only happens in h1 or h2 tags.
I have only the del.icio.us extension and the ubuntu extension.
The profile was copied over from Windows one ubuntu release ago (7.04). It already happened back then.
Anyone has an idea what this could be?

Okay i have to add another attachment. This screenshot shows a worst-case: Only the first words on a line are shown, also as it seems the first words of links.
I have no idea of under what conditions it happens, but maybe the following info can be helpful:
- It happens with Pango enabled or disabled through the MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
- All fonts from the pre-installed Windows XP have been copied to ~/.fonts
- obviously text anti-aliasing is turned off, departing from the defaults of Ubuntu
- the Gtk theme is Clearlooks classic
