Text artifacts

I created some Arial text with the text tool in Illustrator CC but it displays with some artifacts (the gray areas):

These persist even if I convert the text to outlines, and I can't find a way to select them to delete them.  It doesn't happen with other fonts (but I'd like to stick with Arial).  What might be causing this, and how can I fix/prevent it?  Thanks.  I'd attach the file, but I can't figure out how.  😞

    If ti not happened with other fonts, first I can suggest you reinstall  Arial font on machine. May be it doesn't depends on GPU preview.

    The issue has been resolved by turning off GPU acceleration.

    So the GPU rendering most probably caused it in the first place.

    Here you go.  The top art board has the original text.  The bottom one has it converted to curves.  I've selected the upper board's text for the Appearance panel:
