Thanks Michael, the bug is indeed caused by libfreetype6 update. @Ben: For my, the command: "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 thunderbird" didn't fix it. I did reboot when I change my /etc/environment for your. It wasn't working either. The temporary solution for me is to downgrade libfreetype6 to testing. I don't have the bug after that. Another fix is to deactivate the antialiasing setting (but you have less beautiful fonts everywhere). Pétùr
