Screenshot of bad font rendering

Description of problem:
I have normally upgraded my Fedora 10 with automatic update on 19-12-2008. When rebooted, the fonts get distorted. They change, when I change the size with ctrl+ or - in Firefox. Only system fonts get distorted, the fonts are presented in normall way in adobe acrobat documents.

How reproducible:
I can get rid of it. Fonts are corrupted totally ...

One more symptom. All system fonts are generally distorted, but when I do refresh in Firefox, the page renders OK. When I move the page, the text that shows up (from the bottom of the page) has distrorted fonts. The part of the page, that is up (displayed first), stays the same - OK. When I hover over a link, the text of a link gets distorted.

I think this thread is relevant to my problems, but my computer doesn't have the same symptoms they have. But the problems with the radeon started after same upgrade.

Try

yum upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing xorg\*ati kernel\*

and if it doesn't help, install directly the latest build of xorg-x11-drv-ati from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=95 and kernel from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 (make sure in both cases you install F10 packages).

Does any of these packages help? What is the version you are using right now?

Comment 9 iztok.stotl 2008-12-22 14:24:28 UTC
It works ;)

The fonts are back ...

It wasn't kernels fault ... when I installed the kernel, the font were still distorted.

This is what helped:
yum --nogpgcheck install xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.9.0-63.fc10.i386.rpm 

Thank you for your help. I have also learned something.
