Hello- I frequently get "corrupt" font display when using X applications. That is, there appear to be extra pixels turned on at random for displaying certain letters. The random pixels are different for each letter affected, and only some letters are affected when this occurs. The letters and the extra pixels change if I restart my X session. Right now my E character looks like a squared-off 8, but only in the xterm windows. In netscape the E looks fine but other letters are messed up (my d in netscape has a hole in it!). The extra pixels are usually vertically arranged. kvt is not affected like this but instead spaces characters out v e r y w i d e l y (but only those I type in - system replies and program output are fine). kvt also doesn't know how to clear the screen. No matter though - I'm used to and happy with xterm. I'm running FreeBSD3.1 (this problem has existed for several version now) and I'm using the S3 X server. What else need you know? The XF86 information does not help. What could be the problem? Buggy S3 server? Hardware? If hardware why is this noe more consistent? Other graphics seems fine.
