[arch-general] Garbled Text in KDE 4.2
Hi everyone, I have recently upgraded to KDE 4.2 (vanilla, not kdemod) and have noticed an odd glitch. Every once in a while, with no pattern I can discern, the font in the title bar of a window will have garbled text in it [1]. When I took that screenshot and was about to save it, I noticed that the file chooser dialogue also had the glitch, as did the text in the dialogue [2]. The fonts are Sans Serif 10 bold. Does anyone know why this would happen? -- Leonid [1] http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/998/garbledzr9.png [2] http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2577/garbled2sw8.png
Oh, and I forgot to add -- the fonts seem to fix themselves when the window gets redrawn in some way -- unmaximise/maximise, switch to a different workspace, etc. -- Leonid

This seems to be a bug with the nvidia drivers. You might want to try 180.25. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de

Hmm, it seems to only be in AUR? Do you know when the nvidia package in the repos will be updated? -- Leonid

I replaced the nvidia drivers by the nouveau ones to solve this problem, but they are also only available in AUR. Paul
