Font corruption with saucy

 

Hi,

I upgraded my AC100 from precise to saucy this morning, and rebooted to a desktop where fonts were having big issues : parts of text were appearing/disappearing when the mouse cursor was hovering or selection changed... Unusable, to say the least.

I investigated the matter and quickly found an intriguing bug report : #32612 over at archlinux.

I recompiled the saucy xorg-xserver with the attached patch (-p1 -R), installed the packages and restarted lightdm : problem fixed!

I hope this will help,

Snark on #ubuntu-arm, #ac100 and #debian-science

Subject: Use new pixman_glyph_cache_t API that will be in pixman 0.28.0

This new API allows glyphs to be cached in a data structure in pixman,
and entire glyph strings to be composited in one go.

Also bump pixman dependency to 0.27.2.
