I currently have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed.
The fonts were working fine so far, but have suddenly started rendering in a weird manner. Either they're being chopped off or are removing any preceding margins. I've noticed this issue on Firefox and Evolution.
I had installed a bleeding edge version of Synapse. However, on uninstalling, there didn't seem to be any improvement. I had also installed Compiz Config Manager and plugins. Additionally, I had change my systemwide default language and installed a few additonal languages.
What seems to be the issue? Is there a conflict?

flag to my kernel boot command. If the suggestion from @Rmano doesn't work, then you might try that. ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 I'm not sure if this would help you or not, but setting it once using the grub edit boot command line option will tell you if it helps.
