Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
This occurs after restarting from a hibernated session or from a suspended session.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Have not been able to get the fonts fixed in the same session, but restarting XOrg seems to fix the issue.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Restarting XOrg works, but it is a bit heavy handed.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Expected to be able to suspend/hibernate and after restoring have no font corruption.
Is it possible that there is something wrong with the font server?
Is it possible to restart the font server and force it to re-render all fonts?
Strangely, doesn't effect xterm, but does effect emacs and other apps.

What does it has to do with xfdesktop then? Also, what graphics drivers do you use? Regards,
[please keep the bug on CC:, the BTS is not a private help system, any information can benefit other people reading the bug log] Then why report against xfdesktop4, which is only the component managing the background and has nothing to do with fonts. Graphics corruption are usually closely related to graphics drivers, yes (though it might have other causes). In any case, there's nothing I can do here.
Hi Alex, I'm sorry to have caused trouble here. I still don't know what is causing my issue, but feel free to throw this bug away if you feel it is not relevant to xfce4. Ok, thanks for that. I'll try and look around for bugs relating to nouveau font corruption. Again, sorry for causing trouble. Was not my intent. Is there any way you can forward/reassign this one to nouveau or would it be best to drop it and I'll do more investagation? Thanks for your time. Regards David
