<pre>I'm running into an issue where every now and then, all instances of a
particular character in a window are rendered incorrectly. For instance, see
<a href="http://imgur.com/crvPOM6">http://imgur.com/crvPOM6</a> (note that "a" does not render properly).
This only happened as of the upgrade to 7.5 (specifically, using the most
recent version of this package on Arch:
<a href="https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-video-ati/">https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xf86-video-ati/</a>).
I'm using a Radeon HD 8570 / R7 240.
I've found what seem to be other instances of users reporting the bug in Arch
Linux. Some are reporting that it seems specific to GTK apps:
<a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186783">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186783</a>

<a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1472456">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1472456</a>
I've downgraded to 7.4 for now, and so far it seems to have fixed the issue.</pre>
