Hello again, Problem fixed (I think).
(I tried changing anti-aliasing and hinting but it didn't make a difference - I tried changing the settings in KDE control panel, in gkt-qt-engine settings in KDE control panel, and inside GNOME... in fact inside GNOME some fonts lines of text appeared as they do on the first screenshot at the link above) However, commenting out Option "RenderAccel" "true" in xorg.conf makes the problem disappear... The Arch Nvidia wiki does say to comment out the above setting if the system crashes (not the case for me), but RenderAccel didn't cause problems before I upgraded. As I said, the problem appeared after a system upgrade (in case there's any useful information in it, I've pasted parts of /var/log/pacman.log relating to the upgrade which I think are relevant to this issue at the bottom of this message). This could have something to do with nvidia - I don't know. If someone who understands xorg, nvidia and RenderAccel has an explanation, please post back! I don't know if it's a bug that I should feedback to nvidia, or gtk... Thanks for the suggestions.
