Hello, I have also encountered this problem, and in fact it manifests with every GTK+ app I'm using (with the exception of SeaMonkey, which seems unaffected). However, I've experimented a bit, and the problem seems to appear only under KDE. And even then, if I open the Colours module in Control Centre, uncheck Use Colours with non-KDE Applications (or whatever it's called in en_*), and hit Apply, the problem disappears. Of course it also disappears with the Xft.antialias trick reported by the submitter.
So, to the submitter: Are you also using KDE? Does this go away if you run a different desktop environment / window manager? Does it also go away when you uncheck the above option and apply it? If we can confirm this, maybe we can take this bug to the KDE people instead of blaming Pango.
