I keep getting:

and so on, from meany programs including Opera, DialogBlocks, and others.

How to fix it?
2.6.13.2 + Spender's patch for it

probably a library is trying to mmap verdanai.ttf with PROT_EXEC rights, you have to debug it to find out the culprit and then let upstream know that font files are not supposed to be executed.

As for Opera, it had been apparently fixed in 8.02 --> 8.50
For the other programs, I will inform authors.

Can I somehow check is the problem rather caused by the program itself, or by one of library it uses?

yes you can, but it requires debugging with gdb (you have break on the mmap(PROT_EXEC) call then examine the stack backtrace to see who initiated it).
