I think you will see this bug on displays where the DPI and stars align
such that the glyph strokes are about 1px wide (e.g. my 24" 1920x1200).
This might be related to bug 1510382 actually...

Title:
  Text rendering is irregular and not pixel-aligned

Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Logging in to Unity8 desktop I find text rendering is irregular and
  not pixel-aligned. Particularly noticeable in the notification bar
  pull-down on the top right.

  Actually full pixel alignment is not necessarily a requirement, but
  nice to have. Even without that this bug is significant because small
  glyphs are aliasing with the pixels; sometimes one pixel wide but
  sometimes less (so shown dimmer).
