This bug has other consequences that go beyond the corrupted fonts on screen. Often the screen flashes, the mouse pointer does not move and the whole system locks up, requiring the user to turn off the computer using the button, and lose the work being performed. For this reason this error becomes very serious because it prevents the use of the office suite, which is the main working tool for many users, including me.
I'd like to collaborate with the solution of this bug testing patches, new drivers and sending back the log files. If I can be helpful in this task, I only ask to be guided on how to proceed.

Closing and opening openoffice doesn't solve the problem. Disabling compiz restores font appearance. Lotus Notes 8.5 FP1 also suffers this problem.
