Font is aliased in some places

[Nicolas Delvaux]

(this may rather be a bug in Compiz or Nux or something completely different)

On one of my computers, the font is aliased in various parts of Unity (no problem in other programs).
I attached a screenshot of the "keyboard shortcuts helper" where the problem is quite obvious (look at first letters).

This also happens in the dash if I, for example, type a capital "S" or "C" (and others) in the search field.
Same thing in some quicklists (but, strangely, it does not happen each time with them).

As I said it happens on one of my 2 computers. Here is a description of both:

The one affected by this bug :
- ATI radeon mobility HD 3650 (driver: R600g)
- I confirmed this bug on both an old and a fresh install

The other one (isn't affected by this bug)
- ATI radeon mobility X700 (driver: R300g)

I tried to change the screen resolution on both systems, but it did not change anything.
And I'm writing this bug report from a live session, so this is not related to any bad user configuration.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
