By "turn off HW render", you mean RenderAccel "off", or NoAccel "on" ?
BTW, I should clarify my previous post by saying that the fonts across _all_ Xft applications are corrupted when any of them is corrupted by DRI usage; no other non-AA fonts or pixmap data are affected, however. It is only AA fonts, and across _all_ AA applications when it occurs. Would installing a debug X server help track the cause of the corruption down?
