Yes. Thank you for replying to this thread once more. |

Yesterday evening I finally managed to catch the problem |
| 21 |
with incomplete rendering of cyrillic letters "in text mode" |
| 22 |
and make a screenshot of it. This time, it happened in |
| 23 |
html page that was open in google-chrome. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A properly cropped screenshot of it is attached to this email. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
As it may happen that you and other readers of this thread |
| 28 |
are not familiar with cyrillic letters to the extent needed to see |
| 29 |
that they are rendered incomplete, I also add a screenshot |
| 30 |
of the same text rendered complete. I made it this morning |
| 31 |
with the same google-chrome. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
By the way, this means that the problem appears from time |
| 34 |
to time and does not look to be easily reproducible. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
I even assume that it may be a hardware problem |
| 37 |
as my computer is quite old, but unfortunately |
| 38 |
can not check this assumption so far. |

Yes, I try not to mix GTK and Qt on this old computer |
| 43 |
as much as possible to reduce the time needed |
| 44 |
to update the system. So, most of the applications on |
| 45 |
it use GTK. The only one that I know uses Qt is VLC |
| 46 |
as it does not work properly with GTK. However, I use |
| 47 |
it quite rarely. |
| 48 |

|
| 51 |
I am afraid that VLC is the only one. |
| 52 |
Once tried Qutebrowser was removed a long time ago. |

I will try to create a new user and run google-chrome from his profile |
| 60 |
and report the result here. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
However, when the disk with my /home directory |
| 63 |
was for a few months installed on another computer |
| 64 |
also runned by Gentoo with similar configuration |
| 65 |
I have not noticed such problems. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Moreover, I am starting to suspect that |
| 68 |
the problem with incomplete rendering letters |
| 69 |
"in text mode" and the problem with symbols |
| 70 |
in the youtube video player toolbar may be |
| 71 |
separate ones as the latter is much more |
| 72 |
reproducible and appears only in google-chrome |
| 73 |
(have not noticed it in Firefox, for example, |
| 74 |
though I quite rarely use Firefox to view youtube videos). |
