Interestingly, I cannot see any difference if I vary the used font and
font size. Of course, I havent tried all combinations, but at least from
some experients with 3 fonts (Monospace, DeJaVu Sans Mono, and FreeMono)
and varying font sizes from 7 to 18, I cannot confirm that the bug is
really gone with any of those combinations.

The bug is always there. The only thing that varies is its "visible
effect". That is, the smaller the font size, the worse the effect. The
overlapping of characters is worse with smaller font sizes and less
visible with larger font sizes. However, the "moving" of the broken
rendering outside of the selection is very visible with all font sizes I
tried.

** Description changed:

  In (X)Ubuntu precise (12.04), the font rendering of changed text parts
  is broken. It seems as if the kerning is not evaluated correctly.
  
- Steps to reproduce: 
- - compare to files with differences
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ - compare two files with differences
  - the changed parts will have partially unreadable characters, looking as if 
multiple characters are rendered atop of each other instead of next to each 
other
  
  Selecting the incorrectly rendered parts of the text magically fixes the
  rendering inside the selection, but just 'moves' the broken rendering
  outside of the selection.
