Public bug reported:
I have just upgraded from 1304 to 1310 by upgrade tool. Some letters are
not showing in text or just smashed dots, pixels shown. After some time
it either sorts itself or I have to scroll the text out of sight and
back to solve the issue. It looks like the rendering of the text is not
good. It happens quite often, in any window, both in window title and
text area, independent of any program. I have seen it when I browse with
firefox but also ubuntu windows like software centre.
