Could you make a screenshot? But if the system is very old it is possible the bug is not present yet, the author mentioned it is caused by modern changes colliding with the hardcoded assumptions about the grid placement. If those are still current on your system it might just still work like it was supposed to.

When I say "the system is 15 years old" what I mean is that there is a continuity between the Pentium-III-550 with 128MB RAM -- running Debian 3 on a spinning IDE disk -- and the i5-4570 on my desk now with Debian 9.8 on 16GB and ZFS on two SSDs. The software has been continuously upgraded, the hardware has been occasionally upgraded; everything is up to date, but if I did something exciting to /etc/fonts.conf in 2014, that's probably still there.
