Cropped screenshot of Firefox search box

Description of problem:
There seems to be some strange hinting on certain letter combinations for the
Sans font in Fedora 9. This happens in the URL bar and Search box in Firefox,
but it probably happens in other applications too. See the screenshots
attached.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freetype-2.3.5-6.fc9.i386
dejavu-fonts-2.24-3.fc9.noarch (I don't know if the default 'Sans' is DejaVu or
if 'Sans' is from another package)
firefox-3.0.2-1.fc9.i386

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type the letters 'fi' into the search box in Firefox

Actual results:
Fonts are strangely hinted, as in the screenshot attached.

Expected results:
Kerning and hinting should be consistent.
