Bug Description
In a number of versions of Ubuntu (including 12.04, 13.10, 14.04, XUbuntu 12.04, and probably others) the font rendering of changed text parts is broken. It seems as if the kerning is not evaluated correctly.
Steps to reproduce:
- compare two files with differences
- the changed parts will have partially unreadable characters, looking as if multiple characters are rendered atop of each other instead of next to each other
Selecting the incorrectly rendered parts of the text magically fixes the rendering inside the selection, but just 'moves' the broken rendering outside of the selection.
Workarounds:
-Selecting particular font face & size combinations can alleviate the issue for many users.
