      Hello,
      Recently I noticed that some characters in ES started to be displayed incorrectly as black squares. Looking online i found that this problem can be corrected changing the memory split, increasing the GPU memory from 256 to 512. This in fact solves the problem, but I am wondering what caused the change in the fonts in the first place.

        The lack of free GPU memory caused it. So either keep your split higher as you have done, or use a lighter theme like Carbon.
