I had a similar problem with fonts in GTK apps. In my case it was X.org's composite and render extensions. Once i disabled them, the problem went away. Mine was slightly more "streaky" than yours though.

| I'm experiancing the EXACT same problem. Tried everything I can think of with no luck. The problem is completly reproducable, it happens as soon as you load any GTK app. I really would like to fix it. If you need any info about the problem please ask. Thank you |

It was fixed after I tured off the RenderAccel thing in my xorg.conf file. I use Nvidia, btw.

| This is offtopic, but I was wondering what gkrellm plugins you were using in that screenshot. I see the xmms plugin, but what were the two under it? |

I've been having the same problem for a while now. I've bumped my thread about it 4 times
does turning off render acceleration affect performance?  |

Not that I've noticed, though I'd assume that it does to some extent. In any case, it's worth it to get that nasty font problem fixed. Link me to your thread, by the way.

well i ended my kde session and came back in, no difference (I edited that line on xorg.conf)
here's my thread.. which isn't helpful here, just desperate
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-393804-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-.html
edit -- i needed to do the three finger Xorg salute (CTRL ALT BKSPACE) to get the new settings in place, works now, but, windows do seem to be eating more resources if i move them around |

Yep your right, downgrading to x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10-r1 fixes the font problems. |

I'm getting the same issue just in FireFox 1.5 with the new GTK+ 2.8.
Here's and example of it that I get from GoogleNews.

Its even worse in Gmail. But it does clear up a bit if you scroll around. But it usually just comes back again. |

Has this caused GTK+2.8.x to be marked for downgrade in portage? I've just noticed, that emerge -uDp world wants to downgrade my GTK+2.8 to 2.6. I do quite need it for Gnome 2.12, however... I think...

Using mozilla-firefox-bin-1.5 (the binary version of firefox) with gtk+-2.6.7 here. No problems at all.  |

Downgrading gtk+ to 2.6.7 after installing firefox 1.5 does work, but next time I run emerge -uD world then it will upgrade gtk+ again, therefore corrupt fonts 
Is this just a problem with running gtk apps from within kde? or are people that run gnome seeing the problem as well? |

Hrmph... can't even install Firefox 1.5 (source version) because of a MD5 error? Huh? What gives?

Damn, I had changed some font settings today and thought i broke my own fonts, but apparently it was GTK (that came as a dependency with azureus probably) that messed it all up :/
RenderAccell false fixed it here as well. |
