Make sure that you have ttf-dejavu-extra installed.

If this doesn't help

 - $ ls -d /usr/share/doc/ttf-*
 - remove one of these other font packages, recheck after
   removing a font package, until only the ttf-dejavu packages
   are installed.
- if you find the font package which doesn't show the bad font,
  reinstall it, and make sure that you see the bad font again.

Bug description:
- default font appearance settings at 96 dpi
- have ttf-dejavu* packages and java's internal lucida faces available to fc
- javaws http://files.gokgs.com/javaBin/cgoban.jnlp
- play on KGS
- enter unused nick
- login by hitting guest
- look at ugly (too high, ragged) bold fonts game offerings are displayed in (some internal bold lucida)
- look at e.g. overlapping letter 'g' in nicks displayed in nicklist (some dejavu variant)

- one can move affected ttfs out of fontconfig's path to see mentioned faces changing (after app restart)
- FC_DEBUG=1 javaws ... | grep family | sort | uniq should show them selected, too
- orderly shaped fonts were displayed with karmic's sun-java6
- the bad fonts can be seen in openjdk-jre (karmic or lucid), too

- maybe some forced dpi change in karmic->lucid transition?
- maybe some problem in java rasterization requests? (but both implementations fail in lucid, openjdk in karmic)
- maybe some bad font metrics?
- maybe errors in rasterization?
