You mean like a faint outline instead of a solid letter? It's probably a rounding bug in one particular version of whatever font rendering engine that WebkitGTK+ uses. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if the bug went away if you ran the previewer on a different platform (or even on a 32-bit CPU instead of a 64-bit CPU).
