Bug Description

Infrequently (once every 5-8 cycles), after a resume from suspend the font characters in all xterms, on my WM's status bar (I run DWM), and in GUI applications are mostly gone, as if most text characters have been rendered instead as a space or an underscore. All programs are otherwise responsive.
This problem never occurred under Ubuntu 14.04.

WORKAROUND: Log out and back in.
