Strangly, after updating my system (and rebooting) a couple of times, the problem seems to have fixed itself.

Strangly, all I see is a blank space. For example, if I type "abcdefg" I actually see "abcd fg". It's as if the font is missing an 'e'. This only seems to happen in the Dash's search box. Other applications (e.g. Gedit, Firefox etc.) display the 'e' correctly although I have noticed occasional screen corruption when rendering characters in some cases. Honestly, this is not a joke (see the attached screenshot).
