There doesn't appear to be any mention in that bug report of spontaneous 
replacement of the raggedly rendered glyphs with smoothed ones shortly 
after the original, ragged display.

I assume rendered glyphs are cached (lest font rendering consume 
inordinate CPU cycles throughout the system's operation).

To your knowledge, is there any code that might account for ragged 
(point-resampled) glyphs being used (transiently) when the smoothed 
ones are not available on a timely basis?
