Hi.

I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid (fully updated), and from time to time the fonts in my Qt apps get all screwed up:

Most of the time I only need to get the affected window to redraw (for example, by resizing it) and the problem goes away for a while. It will usually come back later, though. I've looked around (in this forum and elsewhere) and the closest thing I've found is this subpixel hinting related bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/334657), but I think this is a different issue.

I have an nVidia G72M [GeForce Go 7400] graphics card with the latest version (I believe) of the binary drivers: nvidia-glx-180.

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestions...

I'm having exactly the same problem in Ubuntu Jaunty, with a nVidia 6150 go. My driver is version 180.44. I've noticed it in Kopete and KTorrent, so it seems to be related to KDE apps.
Any suggestions, anybody?
