Bug Description
Sometimes, when I start my desktop I get pixelated fonts in the menu and title bar (See attached: Font-Bugs.png)
This behaviour also comes with Chrome not being able to use system title and border bars.
If I do `sudo service lightdm restart` enough times things go back to normal. (See attached: Font-Ok.png)
Help?

I might have the same problem.
Window menu fonts are distorted/pixelated after reboot and automatic login, as there was a hinting problem. This occurs regardless the menus are displayed on mouse hovering or are always displayed. The problem can fixed by logging out and in (i.e., not by restarting).
My fonts look like this: http:// askubuntu. com/questions/ 762045/ why-the- font-of- menu-is- different- on-global- bar-and- window- bar
The problem does not occur if I disable automatic logins.
