Not fixed here. I upgraded the Vaio to Oneiric yesterday and am seeing font corruption after running it for about 2.5 hours this morning with several suspends.

I'm also seeing the i915 module loaded in oneiric. I can't test what module it used in natty (replaced that partition in the upgrade) but Debian Squeeze, which also shows the problem, loads i915 just like oneiric does.

I'm not convinced using lots of fonts makes a difference -- I've seen it when I wasn't doing much more than rehearsing/presenting a talk, with only a few fonts on the slides. I think running for a while is more important (usually several hours, though once or twice I've seen it sooner than that). Suspending may be relevant; I've never seen corruption in a run where I didn't suspend at least once, but it's rare that I have my laptop running that long without suspending.
