I guess this('crushed-down' rendering of bitmap glyphs when they're in the same
'line' with anti-aliased glyphs) is due to an Xft bug that has been fixed
recently. Can you install the newest Xft package for Debian and see if this
problem goes away?

I reported this 'crashed rendering' a few days ago

http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649
http://fontconfig.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102

and I found this bug is fixed on the Xft2 2.1.2

you can simply test it with the following steps:
 0. download Xft 2.1.2
http://pdx.freedesktop.org/~fontconfig/release/xft-2.1.2.tar.gz
 1. backup your old libXft.so.2*
 2. build the new Xft 2.1.2 
 3. replace old libXft.*
 4. run the mozilla
