Hello, I am a long time linux user, I have been using Netrunner for some time, in netrunner with the latest updates I had fonts, seamed like displayed low resolution images in high resolution screens, dotted. I could not solve the problem. I installed manjaro, and after update I see the same problem.
Any help much appreciated...
Please post inxi -Fxxxz
and read
Hello, I usually post the log or snapshots relavant to the problem, however in this case I was not sure what to post. The snapshot of the desktop probably will not be very helpfull either..

Maybe, you could delete if it is not helpful 
Can you start this app, that I do not use/know , from terminal and post the output?
I found nothing in repositories and AUR so ...
Hello thank you for the replies
My OpenGl part was 2. I changed to 3.1 as suggested. Problem persists.
I have found some warnings, I do know if they are relavant or not.

I have two labtops, they have the same font tearing problem. One is Dell Vostro 5481 running Manjaro which has the configuration provided above. The other ise Dell Latitude E5420. Old but reliable labtop, running Netrunner rolling (which is manjaro based). They both intel embedded graphic card, albeit different versions. They both suffer the same problem.
fbev is a red herring - I get the same errors, it is the frame buffer driver.

And you are not using the intel driver at all:

Maybe something here can help:
I installed fbdev. Rebooted some parts of X.log is below...Problem still persist.

open KDE Settings and then fonts. Uncheck the box next to exclude range from anti-aliasing. Click Apply, then click okay in the message about affecting only newly opened applications. Close settings. Restart the PC. DO NOT open font settings again or you will need to do the same again. There's currently a reproduceable bug in KDE font settings causing this exclusion behaviour issue.
Hello,
I would like to thank you all, great Manjaro community. The problem is fixed. I have removed the configuration file suggested by "xircon" to make sure that fix is not dependent to that. Yes with below setting tearing problem is gone. I had to enable anti aliasing to uncheck it.
Again thank you all who provided feedback.
