It is really a strange bug and probably very hard to solve since there is no clear way to reproduce it. I had exactly the same problem (mostly on "e"s missing a line of pixels) but during the time needed to search google, get to this page and log in to post a comment, the display problem just vanished. Now everything looks normal. Happened several times on my system.
The only thing I did previous to the display problem appearing, was to launch DoubleCommander (a GTK2 program) and gedit (Gnome 3) at the same time. If I do it again, no problem is apparent though... Using Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Shell on a Fujitsu Amilo laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/782855 Title: missing pixels (horizontal lines) in font rendering To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/782855/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
