Thanks to Edward. I closed anti-aliasing, the problem remains. But when I
reopen it, I found the problem was fixed.

And this only appeared in the gtk program.

Thanks for help!

I'm glad that worked for you too. I can't say I understand *why* that
works, but for two of my computers it resolved it for me. It was damn
near impoosible to look at web sites using Firefox or carry on a
conversation in Gaim with most of the text being gone until the mouse
pointer hovered over the missing area. :P It happened for me using any
GTK applications within any window manager/desktop environment.

I remember seeing a bug filed for this within the Debian BTS, but I
can't remember what it was filed against.

libcairo2:

#377755 [FIXED 1.2.0-4]: Disappearing text in pango applications
