[SOLVED] Strange font rendering

Last screenshot

I'm not sure if I did anything unusual before this happened (few days ago). Maybe removed some dependeny accidentaly..
This don't happen when I first log in, but after few minutes. The more time I spend, the more those fonts get strange.
I have no such problem running XTerm or Terminology (because those are not GTK-based??)
I also don't have such problem in Enlightenment (E17), because it's not GTK but EFL based?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Strange font rendering

This is most probably a problem of latest xorg's way using the pixman cache.
Try downgrading xorg-server. Sometimes a simple reboot helped, too.

BTW: This has been addressed several times now. Please search before posting next time.

Re: [SOLVED] Strange font rendering

I'm sorry I did not search a little more about this problem...

I 'solved' this by downgrading xorg-server and xorg-server-common to 1.12.4.

Thanks and sorry again.
