Sometimes, symbols in a text are distorted in different programs like Firefox or LibreOffice Writer. The distorted symbols look like random distributions of pixels. An example can be seen in the attached figure showing the distortion in Firefox.
P.S. Actually, I am not absolutely sure that this is compiz which is affected by this bug. If it's not, I offer my apology and ask those who know the right project to correct the report. Thank you.
