It was the font.
The culprit appears to be "Myriad Pro" (OTF format).
I first tried removing all my font configuration and regenerating the font
cache, but without success.
Then I used "-nofontconfig" on the command line and it worked perfectly.
Many thanks to Evgeniy and Uoti for the help offered.

Roberto
