I might have the same problem. Window menu fonts are distorted/pixelated after reboot and automatic login, as there was a hinting problem. This occurs regardless the menus are displayed on mouse hovering or are always displayed. The problem can fixed by logging out and in (i.e., not by restarting).
My fonts look like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/762045/why-the- font-of-menu-is-different-on-global-bar-and-window-bar The problem does not occur if I disable automatic logins. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1603117 Title: Pixelated fonts in menu and title bars Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Sometimes, when I start my desktop I get pixelated fonts in the menu and title bar (See attached: Font-Bugs.png) This behaviour also comes with Chrome not being able to use system title and border bars.
