You shouldn't have to reboot, closing all terminals and open a new one works for me.
Now I have three configurations in Hardy for fonts: 1. /etc/fonts/conf.d 2. /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties 3. ~/.fonts.conf All gnome fonts except the terminal are controlled by 2., gnome-terminal fonts are only controlled by 3.! I think there are two things that should be done: a) Cleanup /etc/fonts/conf.d: Why is it set to antialias, hinting medium, no-sub-pixel? b) Unify configs: Why does above directory exist if appearance is controlled by gnome-appearance-properties? c) Why doesn't gnome-terminal respect none of settings 1. and 2.? I _am_ a developer (vi on a notebook) and my preference for gnome-terminal fonts is antialias, hinting full, sub-pixel, rgba=rgb . I think the 53-... symlink should be remove because developers are man enough to write their own .fonts.conf! -- 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
