Hmmm.  I don't notice this.  I'm viewing this message in mutt running
in a gnome-terminal using DejaVu Sans Mono Book 11.

Is it possible that other font settings (dpi, smoothing, hinting, or
subpixel order) may be the cause of this?

I'd be happy to send you a screen shot and my font settings if you
think it might help narrow down any possible bugs in fontconfig or in
the DejaVu fonts.
