Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: fontconfig

This was initially reported as a KDE bug, but it was later determined to be a 
fontconfig bug.
See -> https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233187 for origional bug report 
Fontconfig version :2.8.0

The Antialiasing settings in System Settings-> Appearance -> Fonts
can cause font corruption, depending on the settings.

It occurs randomly, only for that particular character on that screen.
By character, I mean that for example, all "Y"s that are in the application are
corrupted.

This occurs if the antialiasing settings are set to "enbled" and with the
following combinations of settings


SubPixel Rendering: RGB      | Hinting Style: None
SubPixel Rendering: RGB      | Hinting Style: Slight
SubPixel Rendering: RGB      | Hinting Style: Medium
SubPixel Rendering: RGB      | Hinting Style: Full
SubPixel Rendering: Disabled | Hinting Style: Medium
SubPixel Rendering: Disabled | Hinting Style: Full

and does not occur with

SubPixel Rendering: Disabled | Hinting Style: None
SubPixel Rendering: Disabled | Hinting Style: Slight

Ive taken a screenshot, so please take a look ->
