I have encountered the same problem in Breezy and hoped it would be solved. I have a laptop with an NVIDIA card and a widescreen. For me the problem is limited to serif fonts. Sans serif are clear in Dapper.

I had a look at

It is not the same thing; the widescreen problem appears to happen due to the screen streching, and it\’s possible that it is fixed after completing the installation.

The ATI bug appears to be related to Radeon cards (driver is the cause) and unfortunatelly the fix did not make it in Ubuntu 6.06.

I\’m not sure if it\’s the same thing, but there\’s a known bug that affects not only the users with widescreen displays but (I think) everyone who has an ATi graphics card (including me with my laptop\’s ATi Radeon Mobility). The bug causes artifacts in windows and/or OK/Cancel buttons etc.. It was first reported almost three months ago, yet it was never fixed…
