I do have the unfree fonts installed.
Could you try unsinstalling the ttf-larabie* fonts ? I doubt this would change anything since I just noticed they are installed in a different place since a while, so they shouldn't get used anyway. > The ball overlays in the lower left display normally. > > It's difficult to know if this is an OpenGL implementation bug, or > something wrong with my Xft setup.
