It's been reported multiple times already.  See:

Absolutely!  Attach your fontconfig configurations and your
gnome-font-properties font settings.  What happens if you remove any
local configs, or change settings in gnome-font-properties.  What fonts
are you using.  Anything else you have customized on your system?  And
which distro is it you are using?
