Weird Font Rendering Issues after updating to NixOS 24.05 #319527

I recently updated my NixOS from 23.11 to 24.05. I am experiencing weird font rendering issues. I am using Gnome 46.2 and XORG.

Here are some examples:

I solved this issue by adding the following to my configuration:

environment.variables = {
    GSK_RENDERER = "gl";
};

I found the hint in the following post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=294177

...If you are using GTK on very old hardware, you may be better off with the old GL renderer, since it makes fewer demands on the GPU...

Seems this is related to my old CPU: Intel i7-3770S
