Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
Sometimes, display fonts become garbled (see attached image). This affects all applications, including those not yet launched, until X is restarted.
The problem seems to occur particularly when using Firefox, but I was not able to identify a sequence of actions leading to it.
