Title:
  Texts are not rendering properly in 15.10 which causes xorg to restart

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I ran Ubuntu 15.10 from Live session I found some letters are not showing at all, some very white or bold. Sometimes hovering on them shows the original text, sometimes blinking. This often restarts xorg.
  In xenial, xorg doesn't restart, but the font problem is still there.

  WORKAROUND: Install the nvidia proprietary drivers.
