Font rendering problem: some/parts of letters disappear

The problem I have is that in most applications there seems to be problems with the font rendering. Eg scrots of lxappearance, zathura and conky: http://imgur.com/a/EHlD8

However, I spend most of my time in urxvt and qutebrowser and these are both completely unaffected. (It seems that definitely all GTK apps have problems). Also, I use infinality at the moment, but I have verified that this problem persists under the unpatched versions, and with different fonts.

I'd be really thankful if you can help me fix this and I can provide more info, I am just unsure of what it may be that you would need.

If you happened to be running a system with intel graphics, try changing the render acceleration method from SNA'to either UXA or glamor. IIRC I've seen similar issue with fonts that was caused by SNA rendering bug.
