Can we get this fixed please? It is a real eyesore to those of us with B-G-R striped monitors. It's a one-line patch: a simple "break" statement missing in the Cairo font renderer. The Cairo patch has been available for well over a year, and it has been fixed in Cairo releases since 1.11.4 (2012

The rendering bugfix is incorporated into cairo 1.11.4, released 2012-03-12, so that's a little bit of progress I suppose. For whatever reason, though, now that I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 beta, even my lovingly hand-patched and compiled version of Cairo doesn't seem to resolve this problem anymore.

The cairo patch in freedesktop.org solved the problem for me. I manually applied the patch in cairo 1.10.2, built it and manually installed it over the packaged version in Natty. BGR-ordered subpixel font rendering now looks fine systemwide, and switching back and forth between RGB and BGR has th

Thanks for the additional observation, Ingo, and also for confirming my original report (despite the fact that resolving this bug won't really help you one way or the other, given your two-monitor situation). I tested the recently released Natty Alpha 3 Live CD, and it too shows this same problem.
