Fonts degrading after desktop lock

Continuing the discussion from Font display breaking:

If anyone can help me troubleshoot this I would be very grateful.

Font display breaking

Hi All

It seems after almost 2 months trouble free my font display problem is back. In the image below you can see that some of the fonts appear corrupted and some don’t display. If you look at the 2 spreadsheets side by side, you can see that the same text in the same font behaves differently in the 2 different files. Some programs seem unaffected, and others heavily affected. Chrome and Firefox have no issues at all.

Everything appears fine after a reboot, and the problem only starts after the 1st time the desktop has to be unlocked.

Any help with diagnosing the problem would be great. Last time I just reinstalled and it went away, but I am not excited about doing that every 2 months. Reboots are also a pain.

Thanks in advance.

Very strange. I’ll do some testing. Anything other than LibreOffice affected?

Applications affected include Backup, Calculator, Disks, and more. Applications not affected include Chrome, Firefox, VLC. Sublime Text menus are affected, but not text in the editor.

FWIW, the first set of apps use GTK, while the second don’t (directly).VLC uses Qt, and Firefox and Chrome use GTK to some degree to match the theme, but not directly. Sublime might use GTK for its menus.
