Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

With Nouveau enabled and subpixel font hinting enabled,  fonts are
rendered "glitchily". See the attached screenshot.

Switching to "Best Contrast" or "Best Shapes" rendering solves the
problem (I'm using the GNOME Appearance Preferences dialog to make the
changes.)

All levels of subpixel hinting (none,slight,medium and full) exhibit
this behavior. Enabling or disabling desktop effects has no effect. I've
tested this using up-to-date Lucid and with xorg-edgers, and both are
affected.

See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21124 for the upstream
issue.
