859338 - Occasional Font glitches

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

Attachment: Font glitches on a github page

Once in a while I start seeing fonts being rendered weirdly while using Nightly.  This started maybe a few weeks ago.  I haven't been able to come up with predictable steps to reproduce yet.

I do know that copying & pasting the weird-looking characters works normally (the underlying text comes out correctly).  Restarting the browser seems to fix the problem, but reloading the page or opening the same link in another tab preserves the glitches.

The URL for the attached screenshot is:

Operating System: Ubuntu 12.10
Firefox Version: Nightly 23.0a1 (2013-04-05)
Hardware: Lenovo x220 laptop (Core i7 2620M w/ 8GB RAM)

Determined that this is a problem with my operating system and not Firefox.
