Look at digit '4' . This is part of Konversation chart

- Some certain font letter drawn not correct over all system , meaning that if you see that '4' don't have it lower part than in any application that you will open you will same behavior .
- After each system reboot new letter(s) became currupted .
- Changing used font in "System Settings" can some times solve issue , but if you don't reboot system for a long time it can appear again 
- with "Force Fonts DPI " turned on there more artifacts in comparision to turned off this option

Sounds a bit like Bug #36326 ...

(In reply to comment #3)
I review defect that you mention . Snapshot from defect looks very similar to problems that I have. Main differneces :
- I use KDE against GNOME in Bug #36326 
- I didn't detect any influence of font size changing 

But maybe this differences not important for root cause of the problem...

Icons curruptions in same environment

Looks like problem was not hard linked with fonts . I attach new file - please look at icons in the tree they have same problem as letters ...

I've pushed a tree to remove some of the optimisations to see if they are the cause of the corruption:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/xf86-video-intel #glyph-cache-bug

Can you please try this branch to see if does the trick?

Rough guide to testing:

$ git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~ickle/xf86-video-intel
$ cd xf86-video-intel
$ git checkout origin/glyph-cache-bug
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ sudo make install
# restart X
