Public bug reported:
At least once every day I get font corruption on my laptop. The
corruption is blank lines running through certain font glyphs like those
lines didn't paint at all--I can see the background behind them. When it
happens, each corrupt character is corrupt in the same way throughout
the application. Different glyphs can be corrupt in different
applications, and restarting an application will usually fix it (though
forcing a repaint, e.g. through refreshing a page in Firefox does not).
See attached screenshot.
