I do not experience this problem on my setup :
- 10 days old emacs build with new font backend
- Gnu/Linux (current ubuntu stable)
- X Window System Version 1.3.0, Release Date: 19 April 2007
- VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]
- Driver "radeon" (the libre one)
- starting with : emacs -fn "Dejavu Sans Mono-14"
