[madbiologist <1314551@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having this problem on a Radeon HD 7870 on 14.04.

It is supposedly fixed by a glyph cache fix in xserver 1.17.
Unfortunately, the xserver in the upcoming Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet"
is still based on xserver 1.16.

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
