Text in Unity panel, HUD, dash corrupted

[Cavia Porcellus]

The fonts in the Unity panel, the dash, and the HUD are corrupted. This seems to only affect certain the text in certain places.

For instance, in the dash the F in "Filter" has a blue line on it (see first screenshot). Using the HUD, the first letter typed is always corrupted, generally with some vertical orange lines. The same letter will not be corrupted if it is not the first characer typed (see second screenshot). Finally, the first letter of a title in the panel is corrupted (blue or white lines), even if it is normal on the title bar of a window that is not maximized (see third screenshot).

Text in other places seems unaffected.

Thanks.
