The problem also occurs in kxmame, where the text flashes for a moment
and then disappears from the list boxes, menus, and dialog boxes.
Disabling compiz fixes this, however I am also getting the FONT_ERROR
messages in Metal Blob Solid even when disabling compiz. None of these
issues occurred in
I'm also running Ubuntu 8.10, and I installed the restricted ATI driver.
I have also disabled desktop effects, but Metal Blob Solid still displays
FONT_ERROR messages in its menus.

I attach a couple of screenshots from Tremulous. There should be menu
items at the top right corner of the game screen, but they can't be
seen. I believe the second screenshot is from the game server selection,
so there should be a lot of text there as well.

Disable compriz / all desktop effects before running 3D apps, they don't
play well together.

David is correct, composting wm's (aka Desktop Effects, compiz, beryl,
etc.) will cause this problem with a fairly large number of programs,
especcially 3d games and opengl applications.
Disable desktop effects before launching one of these games.

Hi! Thanks for the quick replies! Like you said, disabling compiz before
playing these games did the trick. What I don't know is if I can change this
bug to be against compiz instead of any game, because this problem didn't
happen to me in Ubuntu 8.04.
Thanks for the help!
