The font used is:

     xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0- 
iso10646-1 (#x468)

Similar effects happen with:

     xft:-unknown-Code2000-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0- 
iso10646-1 (#xA30)


When I go forward or backward with the cursor keys in the greetings  
(also in the header) the direction of cursor movement is reversed at  
two or three spots. When I try to select them to be able to copy them  
they disappear.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime, doubly so.
