Correction to above,
Upoon opening a few more web pages and rechecking Banshee status popup, i did
have to restart firefox (tested twitter.com where i knew i had seen the effect
before) and Banshee to clear the text blockyness. Worked on console without
restart oddly enough.

Just to re-itterate success in experiencing this problem and solving it with
the gconftool command suggested above.
Problem experienced across upgrades between Intrepid and Jaunty on 64bit dell
Latitude D630.
Attempt 2 to write this comment.
I was experiencing issues which match this bug.
Confirmed on Jaunty. I have non-transparent white text on black, which
shows up everywhere Compiz seems to put text (emerald window titles,
scale window titles, resize info, application switcher window titles,
etc). Example screenshot attached for the heck of it.

Good news: Nicolaus may have found the issue. If someone could try to
recompile cairo with the change described in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10301#c80 and then report
if the problem is solved, that would help.

This bug is still in Intrepid. Let's fix it?
I ripped out the debian/patches/04_lcd_filter.dpatch and recompiled.
This fixes the bug both in resizing windows and other apps (like
firefox) painting some text incorrectly. As described above, it only
happens with VRGB subpixel smoothing.
Why is
Why is this patch in ubuntu in the first place?
Because without it fonts look really ugly. That's a personal taste, but
I think it reflects the opinion of the majority of users.
IMHO, The real question is why it is still not included in upstream
Cairo.

Compiz resizeinfo legend characters
Since upstream can't make up their minds on this I've un-assigned myself
- it doesn't look like this is going to be addressed any time soon. I
had been hopeful of some kind of resolution that we could implement as
an SRU. I've added a bug-track link to the upstream bug report.

I'm using Hardy and I've got the problem as well. But I think it's more than

effect.

Confirming. With the Desktop Effects disabled I has the same bug when
displaying SVG in Firefox. Switching away from subpixel rendering (VRGB)
to the best shape and back solved the issue.

Hi there
Thanks TJ for working on this, seems to be as you pointed a libcairo issue
rather than compiz, so i'm leaving just the libcairo task open, if you don't
think this is correct, please feel free to re-open it for the compiz package.
Thanks again for help to make Ubuntu better, keep up

Tracked down the apparent cause to libcairo's
debian/patches/02-cairo-1.4.8-lcd-filter-2.dpatch.
The bug reveals itself if sub-pixel rendering is enabled and rgba_order
'VRGB' is selected.
$ gconftool-2 -a /desktop/gnome/font_rendering
rgba_order = vrgb
antialiasing = rgba
dpi = 96

Scott (Keybuk) has confirmed the issue on x_86 32-bit as well.
It looks as if the patch we have here is based on one originally
submitted to Cairo in October 2005 by Frederic Crozat of Mandriva.

Adrian, are you using Gutsy x86 or x86_64 (AMD64) ?
I'm wondering if this might be an issue to do with 32-bit vs 64-bit
values. If you're using 32-bit though, we can scrub that line of
investigation.
