WORKAROUND: The font went crazy again, but this time I didn't reboot immediately. For no apparent reason, the font seemed to clear up a little after 5-10 minutes. Then, I changed the font from "subpixel smoothing" to "best contrast" and presto it fixed all the font immediately!!
Based on my experience, this never happens directly from bootup, and only seems to occur while using firefox (although I don't typically use other internet browsers). Is Firefox causing the font to corrupt? -- words on the screen slowly become unreadable garble https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589504 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
