I am using Xfce on sid and do not see any font corruption in 
thunderbird. What are your desktop font settings?

I am using Liberation Sans for desktop and GUI, full hinting, and in 
/etc/environment I have:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35

We got a tiny fonts-liberation update but I did not notice any change.

Kind regards,
