Ok, I tried the latest Ubuntu Mate ISO from oct 02/2015
Same problem in live mode... tweaked some settings (rgb, vrgb, etc... ) VRGB is better but not perfect at all...
Installed to SSD and boot, fonts still messed, installed Intel microde, rebooted and problem persisted. Another reboot, same thing.
The only way to fix was installing the nvidia drivers, however on first boot after nvidia, system froze, not able to even use keyboard or mouse... but fonts were OK
Time for a second installation; with nvidia drivers system is working fine.
It seems to be a very disturbing bug, mainly in live mode.

Title:
  Missing fonts and flickering font rendering

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting from the live iso the fonts flicker and some are missing. When mousing over them they return but then they disappear as soon as you remove the mouse from the top of them.
  After installing xorg-edgers/ppa and applying the newest nvidia drivers with intel microcode the font issue disappears.
