Having the same problem on an IBM Thinkpad X31, Ubuntu 9.10 with "Human" appearance and sans fonts of fixed integer size.
When running off an Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD the X-server is set up for "Normal", and the notify-OSD bubble works fine. Once installed to the hard disk, the X-server does not work properly when set to "Normal" (I will put in a separate bug report on that), but when visual effects is set to "None", then I get the same results for notify-OSD. Tried different fonts, different sizes, to no avail. ** Attachment added: "Attachment showing font selection, sizes, etc. and notify-osd window" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37684902/Screenshot.png -- Notifications won't display correctly on low graphics https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499052 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
