Things somewhat improve if I put the following in my ~/.fonts.conf <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig> <!-- Enable sub-pixel rendering --> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintfull</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="pattern" name="family" > <test name="family" qual="any" > <string>Courier</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" > <string>Courier New</string> </edit> </match> <!-- Location of local fonts --> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> </fontconfig> The killer is replacing Courier with Courier New. I believe that this shows that it is somehow a problem with Hardy, in that the fonts have been configured differently from Gutsy. -- Mathematica renders fonts incorrectly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197163 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
