After I ran pacman -Syu around March 29th, I started to experience font problems. Noticed it first in Konsole--as I typed, the font would appear garbled, and response was slow. If I waited about 5 seconds, the screen would refresh and things would look OK. Until I typed some more..
Affected programs:
- Konsole
- Kate text editor
- Firefox
Not affected at all:
- UXTerm
- urxvt
- Brave (based on Chromium, I think)
I would have thought it was a KDE/Plasma issue (and it may be), except for seeing the same issue with Firefox.
What I've tried so far is:
- downgrading ttf-inconsolata package (based on another recent post)
- rebooting
- updating a few more times, with reboots after each one
None of these have worked.
Any ideas what to try next?
Thanks!

What's your graphics card and driver? If it's intel that might be a regression in the new mesa opengl driver, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ver_(i965) for how to switch that to the older implementation.

This doesn't seem to be the issue. I tried two of the tips on the page
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965 environmental variable
AND
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection
Rebooted, and am still seeing the issue.

Remove that config file and xf86-video-intel, that can also often contribute.
