These look to me like normal toolchain elements. Pretty far from
"the universe".

Smells like some misconfiguration on your part.  In principle
you may need to deal with "Xft" or with "Pango" fonts.  When I will
have an opportunity and some time to spare, which may be a while,
I may try to look if I can reproduce this.  So far I did not see
anything of that sort but I cannot tell which was the last version
I was playing with.

IIRC there was a trivial patch for that; posted on this list and
later incorporated in sources.

So here you go.
