Nope. This is X4 we're talking.

I used the SVGA server for some time. But I kept having sporadic font
corruption under a few apps - Netscape and mutt were the most common - and
switched to the XF86_S3V server. No more font corruption after that. But
now I'm using X4, so it's a past issue for me now. So far, it's working
well. Not obviously better in any way, but no worse either.
