I can also confirm the problem using 9.04 with a Intel i830 graphic controller (w/Gnome). Desktop effects are disabled.
If I change the font type under appearance it will fix the problem for a while, the same If I reboot the pc, but I will come back after a while. I am using the Xserver for the I8xx as far as I know, but I don't now how to confirm that. Sorry I can not give more details as I am new to Linux. By the way, once a letter is garbled, the same letter will always look the same. For example if the letter "E" turn into a little square, each one of the letters E of the same font type will look the same. It is like the bitmaps for the letter mapping get corrupted for some reason. -- garbled text after update to 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
