Ok Scientific Linux has different upstream repositories that people
can point to. You need to find out which repostitory you got that RPM
from because each one could do it differently. The EPEL package of
Terminal shows the following:

[ssmoogen at ponyo ~]$ rpm -q --requires Terminal

Well the issue may be more with the fonts you are using. Looking at
what the dependencies that nautilus brings in I see the following:

config(nautilus-open-terminal) = 0.17-3.el6
libcairo.so.2()(64bit)
libfontconfig.so.1()(64bit)
libfreetype.so.6()(64bit)
libgconf-2.so.4()(64bit)
libgmodule-2.0.so.0()(64bit)
libgnome-desktop-2.so.11()(64bit)
libnautilus-extension.so.1()(64bit)
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
libpangoft2-1.0.so.0()(64bit)
libstartup-notification-1.so.0()(64bit)

[not counting the ton of other stuff.] My first guess will be
libfontconfig.so.1()(64bit)
libfreetype.so.6()(64bit)
libpangoft2-1.0.so.0()(64bit)

and the font you are using is is giving "hints" but without the proper
type packages it can't read the hints so you end up with overlaps.

I will need to see about installing a box without nautilus to see if I
can replicate the issue and figure out what might be needed to pull in
extra font support.
