What are your font settings there? I assume you are running Xfce? If so, go to preferences->appearance and look at the 'fonts' tab is anti-aliasing enabled? Does it make any difference to toggle it? How about hinting and subpixel ordering? What are your font settings there? I assume you are running Xfce? --> YES --> pure terminal (ALT CTRL F3 for example) is unaffected by this bug. If so, go to preferences->appearance and look at the 'fonts' tab setting/apparance? is anti-aliasing enabled? YES Does it make any difference to toggle it? Unaliased characters are uglyer The bug remains How about hinting and subpixel ordering? Hinting FULL Subpixel order : None switching hinting to none do not change anything.

screenshot : anti Alias OFF, No hinting, no sub-pixel. 'i' chars are still broken
Anti Alias OFF,
No hinting,
No sub-pixel.
'i' chars are still broken
X was restarted after the changes in appareace where done
I wonder if this is a X driver or server bug... Can you attach the output of: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and xdpyinfo please? Thanks. Created attachment 609387 [details]

/tmp/aa/Xorg.0.log
Typo : file is /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(In reply to comment #6) > Created attachment 609388 [details] > /usr/bin/xdpyinfo Could you attach the _output_ of running that command, not the command itself? ;) Created attachment 609448 [details]
xdpyinfo output
The output, of course! :) and all apologizes for de missunderstanding.
Note for future : do not do stuff before drinking cofee.
ok, can you go into appearance pref and fonts and check 'custom dpi setting' and set it to "96" and see if anything changes? I well understand about the first cup of coffee. ;) I've had this problem on multiple distributions on my Eee 900 also. A workaround is to put the following in the Device section of your Xorg configuration. You might need to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/NN-device.conf file if one doesn't exist (where NN is some Fedora-acceptable number): Option "DebugWait" "True" This has fixed the character breakage for me on many occasions. It seems to be a bug associated with the Intel 915GM graphics chipset. This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 608104 [details] screenshot Description of problem: - Some characters are badly dispayed. (see the attached screenshot). - When a character is badly displayed, it's always bad the same way (see the screen shot : bad 'x' and bad 'b' are always the same). - Sometimes bad character changes (now 'I' character is buggy in firefox while I'm typing this bug report, but still works on mousepad and worked few seconds ago when I've taken the screenshot). - The bad character are not always the same, but I cannot find what triger this bug. - I've run a memtest - I'm experiencing this bug on my asus eee900, but everyting works on my others computers. - I'm having this bug, since fedora 16 (don't know for earlyer versions) - Bad character always have a few contiguous missing lines. - I already had this bug on anaconda during upgrade (with the netinstall iso on a USB stick). - This bugs seems to be time related : the more I wait after boot, the more broken character I've got. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 How reproducible: Often, but only on my eeePC. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type some text in mousepad or terminal or firefox text fields 2. Drink a cofee 3. Pray. I realy appologize, but this bug is random, and I was unable to reproduce it on an other machine. Actual results: Some texts are realy ugly, morever broken t looks like broken l and broken i. This bug is still random. Expected results: Characters displayed correctly Additional info:
