The bug report seems to mention two issues - (1) fuzzy fonts (2) undesirable creation of ~/.fonts.conf
The (2) bit of this issue that referred to system settings | Appearance creating ~/.fonts.conf each time it is accessed may now not exist in Intrepid. $ cat /etc/lsb-release;date;uname -a;cd ~;find . -type f -name '.font*' DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10" Sat Feb 14 14:10:47 GMT 2009 Linux d183z2g 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ./GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/.fonts_converted #The line above is just because I use WindowMaker so should be ignored.
