I've just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04.  The font rendering in gnome-
terminal is now different without the user having changed anything.  See
the attached image.  The text on the left is from a 7.10 screenshot of a
gnome-terminal, the text on the right I've just typed into another
gnome-terminal.  I can't find a way to make the text revert in
appearance.  System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Rendering
doesn't have an affect on gnome-terminal.  It used to.

Something that's possibly related.  Using the `Rendering' choices above,
e.g. switching to Monochrome, results in an immediate change in font
appearance elsewhere on the desktop, but not in any existing or new
gnome-terminal windows.  I'm sure you used to be able to make changes
and see the effect on the fly in the gnome-terminal window;  that's how
I chose my preferred settings.

This seems to be an 8.04 regression and I've yet to find a workaround.
