Letter cut off in Finder Windows

since lion upgrade, on 2006 imac, noticed letters preceding lowercase "j" partially cut off on drive , folder names.

notice doesn't occur different letter combo proceeding word projects:

took plunge, since 2005, , did clean install. the issue persists. not sure if transferring preference files on re-install has bearing on recurring issue? unable reproduce lion issue on 2010 macpro.

has else experienced problem?
