It is really a strange bug and probably very hard to solve since there is no clear way to reproduce it. I had exactly the same problem (mostly on "e"s missing a line of pixels) but during the time needed to search google, get to this page and log in to post a comment, the display problem just vanished. Now everything looks normal. Happened several times on my system.

The only thing I did previous to the display problem appearing, was to launch DoubleCommander (a GTK2 program) and gedit (Gnome 3) at the same time. If I do it again, no problem is apparent though...

Using Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Shell on a Fujitsu Amilo laptop.
