Title:
  Nvidia driver 331.113-0ubuntu0.0.4 introduces strange fonts problem in
  Kubuntu (KDE)

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:        14.04

  After the last apt-get dist-upgrade I did on Friday 2014-12-12, I
  encountered a very strange issue.

  When I booted the system (or rebooted), the fonts in the login window
  (lightdm) and the fonts after I logged in to the KDE desktop were very
  small. However, no font settings had been changed.

  When I restarted the X server (ctrl+alt+backspace), then the fonts were all fine.
  When I rebooted the whole system, again the same problem until I restarted the X server.

  I noticed that during the last update, nvidia proprietary drivers got
  an update and when I went back to the version before the update (sudo
  apt-get install nvidia-331=331.38-0ubuntu7 nvidia-opencl-
  icd-331=331.38-0ubuntu7) the system worked/works again as expected.
