I'm having this issue too. I'm a web developer and use Gedit on a daily basis so this is making life difficult.
I did determine a few things though... It only occurs when there is a scrollbar present. When the document is short enough and doesn't require a scrollbar the font renders correctly. The same issue also happens in Synaptic. ** Attachment added: "Left side font rendered correctly, right side with scrollbar has font rendering problems" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1290697/+attachment/4088295/+files/gedit.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290697 Title: Font rendering is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1290697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
