Hi Chris,
thanks for your answer.
I will try the latest intel driver, but in case it helps or
you get an idea, I found that it has to do with the
Antialiasing settings:
I am using an OTF font (Lucida Sans OT Regular) with cinnamon.
Sometimes when I wake the computer up from suspend to ram the
fonts are gone.
*BUT*: Switching from (in Font Settings of Cinnamon settings)
Antialiasing: Grayscale
*away* fixes the problem.
WIth Antialiasing: Rgba or None the fonts remain stable as far as
I can see, while with Grayscale they are disappearing.
In fact I can turn the fonts off and on without a problem by simply
swithcing the antialiasing.
Maybe this rings a bell at someone.
Thanks
Norbert
