What's the problem in the PDF you are refering to? Maybe the overlapping 
glyphs as in: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573261

From my understanding this is not a regression between 0.96 and 0.97 but 
simply some earlier unnoticed bad side-effect of Pango's font hinting.
It should go away if you use a font without kerning information.
