someone had a similar problem before? is there something that can be done?
thanks in advance
Is this happening as a result of scrolling the page down/up
That is, if you scroll to see the bottom of the page and the top section passes out of view, and then if you roll it back down?
I have seen this font distortion on my eeepc, but it’s related to scrolling as text come on/off the view area
you mean this is normal and there is no workaround?
sometimes it works, when i scroll the page, but sometimes i have to reload the page.

The only thing i can say is, that it is not happening on my browser. I
checked the website in Portuguese and it looks fine.
What fonts do you use?
I have only the default and have sub pixel installed. If you use other
fonts, try to use instead a different font and see if it still persists.

it’s totally random. i believe it has nothing to do with the webpage. (for example now i open it again and it’s all okay. therefore, some words in this page are equally deformed)
i use the default fonts, i haven’t touched anything concerning fonts of the system neither browser fonts…

i also checked it in the original pt. wiki and it is ok here…i think
it must therefore be a video driver problem…
the OP has not said anything about what operating system, version,
desktop environment, graphics card or anything else important and
necessary to give assistance…
however, perhaps if s/he looked at this page a better driver could be
found and installed…or not: http://tinyurl.com/37v9y7m

i know i haven’t said that. none asked me that, and i didn’t know what info would be relevant.
anyway…
operating system: openSUSE 12.1 (i586)
desktop environment: KDE 4.7.2 “release 5”
graphic card: Intel G33
Driver 2D: Intel
Driver 3D: Unknown classic (7.11) (??)
as i don’t know a similar problem i don’t know what else could be necessary and important.
my intention with this thread was to share the info, willing to find users who experienced the same problem. i can just apologize if i ever gave a different impression.
It’s an intel issue
Try taking the vga=*** out of the boot argument. You will get a basic loading of the OS (no splash) but some have found this improves things.
I pinned this down to using the sub-pixel fonts from the community repo
Default install does not have this issue, even with sub-pixel hinting enabled in the system.
It only appears if you add the community hinting packages
I should add
This is isolated to my eeepc with intel graphics and somewhat limited capabilities
My laptops with intel + the communtiy hinting are fine as is my desktop box (nvidia)
I am anyway not using any packages. Actually i have practically nothing installed in my computer (kdevelop and kile…)
I use no VGA Mode in my boot options anymore.
Well…considering what you said (with your eeepc and your other laptops) it could be said then it’s a hardware problem, and maybe the solution is having a new video driver. Many thanks.
I’d say it is hardware related
But I carefully checked the results and found it only occurred with community sub-pixel packages
I got a different problem. Helvetica font look grainy on Firefox and Konqueror but look just fine on Chromium and Opera. Another font look just fine everywhere, but because a lot of website that i visit use Helvetica as their font, it get really annoying.
I’ve switch to Muzlocker repo and configure my subpixel rendering to any options avaiable, but none of them solve the problem.
Use Droid Sans
I mean the font on the web pages, not on Firefox UI. Or are there a way for me to map certain font on Firefox, eg. map Helvetica to Droid Sans just like those available on Libreoffice ?
Not sure
These are my font settings in Firefox
SUSE Paste
