Ubuntu 12.10
On one particular machine running Ubuntu 12.10, almost every normal-weight "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight is rendered as a bold "S". For example, "Text" is rendered as "Sext".
The problem does not occur with any other font, size, weight, or character. Only the "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight.
This problem occurs in multiple applications, including Thunderbird, Tomboy, XChat, and Nautilus. It does not occur in LibreOffice (perhaps because it does not use GTK?), or in Ubuntu's menu bar (perhaps because it applies a bevel to the text?).

Ubuntu 12.10
On one particular machine running Ubuntu 12.10, some text characters are substituted for different characters.
On April 2, almost every normal-weight "T" in Ubuntu 15px at normal weight was rendered as a bold "S". For example, "Text" was rendered as "Sext".

On April 3, that Ubuntu "T" returned to normal, but "k" in the font used by Firefox when displaying Facebook wall posts was rendered as "d". For example, "Mark" was rendered as "Mard".
On April 4, the "k" returned to normal, but "p" in a particular sans-serif bold size was rendered as non-bold "ƒʹ", while "0" in a different sans-serif size was rendered as bold "g".

The machine was restarted between April 2nd and 3rd, but only suspended between 3rd and 4th.
This problem occurs in multiple applications, including Firefox, Thunderbird, Tomboy, XChat, and Nautilus. It does not occur in LibreOffice (perhaps because it does not use GTK?), or in Ubuntu's menu bar (perhaps because it applies an inset to the text?).
