Some capital letters (V,W,N) won't render correctly in the Sans Serif font

Please see the attached screenshot, especially the words "Werbung",
"VoIP", "Nvidia", "DVD".
That's weird. I cannot reproduce this myself.
Strange I see this on both of my machines, one AMD64 the other x86.
Can you check your
iceweasel configuration to make sure you're using Sans Serif?
The screenshot I sent is showing konqueror, but it's the same in
iceweasel. In iceweasel the Sans-serif font is 'sans-serif'. I have to
decrease the font size once (Ctrl+-) to see the effect.
And then,
can you see what:
$ fc-match -v 'Sans Serif'
returns?
I've attached the output using both versions of fontconfig.
If those look good,
How do I tell?
please try to reproduce this with something simpler,
like 'xfd' (using the -fa option) or even the 'gwaterfall' program which
you'll find in my git repository: git://keithp.com/git/gwaterfall.
No success so far, i.e. gwaterfall seems to display all fonts just fine.
Some further information that might be helpful:
I'm using the en_US.UTF-8 locale.
I've even attached a list of font related packages installed ont his
system (dpkg -l | grep font).
I've even created a new user, logged in, started iceweasel, went to
golem.de or spiegel.de, hit Ctrl+- and saw the same effect.

Felix
