Bad font rendering (two messages appear at same position as one) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lock the display (xflock4 for xfce) 2. Enter wrong password 3. Enter correct password to unlock Actual Results: See some unreadable messages from xscreensaver. Expected Results: I expect to see properly rendered readable messages. The bug was first noticed in xscreensaver-5.08. I'm not sure, but probably after upgrading to new Xorg server which doesn't provide fonts dependencies anymore.

I've just tried with xscreensaver 5.11, X.org 1.8 and nvidia-drivers-195.36.24. Plus only these fonts installed, $ qlist -CIv font app-admin/eselect-fontconfig-1.1 media-fonts/corefonts-1-r4 media-fonts/dejavu-2.31 media-fonts/encodings-1.0.3-r1 media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-alias-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.1.0 media-fonts/font-util-1.1.1-r1 media-fonts/urw-fonts-2.4.9 media-libs/fontconfig-2.8.0-r1 virtual/ttf-fonts-1 x11-apps/mkfontdir-1.0.5 x11-apps/mkfontscale-1.0.7 x11-libs/libXfont-1.4.1 x11-libs/libXfontcache-1.0.5 x11-libs/libfontenc-1.0.5 x11-proto/fontcacheproto-0.1.3 x11-proto/fontsproto-2.1.0 x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto-1.2.0 ... and it's working fine, so closing as NEEDINFO (you need to do some digging why it occurs on your system)
