Distorted X11 fonts(?) with compiz
Hello, I face a problem with my X11 bitmap fonts which look distorted (or badly hinted?) in some places when using compiz. Since it is difficult to describe it exactly with words alone I've attached a couple of images.
Falling back to metacity the problem seems to disappear. Any ideas? Running on an nvidia card (195.36.15-2).
EDIT
Upon further investigation I found out that this problem is probably not font-specific. For example when I run xscreensaver under compiz I get this
whereas under metacity I get this
It seems like the contents of the window are altogether distorted.

Re: Distorted X11 fonts(?) with compiz
For what is worth, I've just found the solution to this problem via this bug report over at launchpad. The solution is to apply this patch to the compiz source distribution. It would be nice if this patch could be included in the arch package as well. I'm really sorry for the bump, but I thought someone might find this useful.
