Hmm... this sounds weird to me (although I do not have an iMac to
test, though). What do you mean by oddy or buggy; that that are
corrupted? Could you post one example? Also perhaps the dmesg output
would be helpful.
Does this always happen when displaying text in the console?

They are always on the same places or they change randomly?

I once experimented a case of corrupted dmesg output (things like odd
case variations or missing letters); but this was in syslogd(8) and
with some odd kernel config. I couldn't reproduce it in a normal
circumstance. But maybe I was missing something obvious...

Thanks,
