Please describe your issue:
I have had xfce for about a year now, but this issue has come up about a month ago. What happens is that several characters are missing in the interface:
On the ubuntu forums, there is a solution called ubuntu-tweak, however, the buttons in its gui do not render, making me unable to use it. Any help?

Just reporting in, another Asus C302 here with the same bug. Running “apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel” as mentioned above, then restarting xfce seems to have fixed it for me as well.
Hey everyone,
So I just installed xfce4 through crouton on an ASUS C302CA-DHM4. I was experiencing the same issues as described above with the font.
I fixed this issue by going into system settings and changing the font size to 11.
Also on Asus C302 here with the same bug. As @escalated commented the following seems to have worked for me as well. “sudo apt purge xserver-xorg-video-intel” Followed by restarting xfce.
Just a note for anyone else that comes here. I had the same problem on a ASUS Chromebook Flip C302CA. I didn’t try the solution from @flynch but I did try the solution on the referenced ticket #3500 (CROUTON_BRANCH=nointeldrv) which did not work (it failed to remove xserver-xorg-video-intel).
Instead I just did a fresh install of xfce and just ran “apt-get purge xserver-xorg-video-intel”, works well so far. Will update if it stops working.
I’m getting this same issue (some characters missing) on the ASUS C302CA (x86). The issue is not present on my other Chromebook, a Lenovo N23 Yoga (ARM).
@flynch,
Thanks for your solution. It seems to work for me now.
