So, I got the font rendering right now. It seems that the version of Qt libraries supplied by Mathematica are incompatible with Hardy. This procedure worked for me:
1) Make sure you have libqt4-core and libqt4-gui installed (use synaptics or aptitude), 2) remove (delete or backup somewhere) these files: PathToMathematica/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libQtCore.so.4 PathToMathematica/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libQtGui.so.4 where PathToMathematica is typicaly /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/6.0 (Substitute Linux-x86-64 for Linux if needed.) Notes: 1) I deleted ~/.fonts.conf, so fonts are set up as on a clean install of Hardy. 2) If you remove only one of these files mentioned above, then Mathematica crashes. 3) I have noticed another bug - which brought me to the idea that our problems are not only font-related - when I tried to print a notebook (File -> Print) then there were no printers in the drop down menu (any one else can confirm this?)! This issue is also solved by the procedure suggested above. Hope it helps. -- 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
