Confirmed, also running latest Hardy. I've noticed this problem for a while now, and it is especially noticeable when Gnome Appearance Preferences/Font is set to Subpixel/Slight.
The offending font configuration file is /etc/fonts/conf.avail/53 -monospace-lcd-filter.conf - if you delete or move this file, the problem will go away. I suggest that this file is removed entirely; I'm not sure of its rationale. Those with CRT should be careful when assessing this bug, because on an LCD screen, fonts look terrible and inconsistent in Gnome Terminal. ** Also affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- font in terminal does not resemble font in preview https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/190848 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
