Hello: I can confirm this bug. Yesterday I updated my laptop to Edgy.
One of the first things that I say when Gnome session starts: Fonts problems! (specially on gnome-terminal and Firefox). I look for information about it and I discovered a solution: Go to System->Preferences->Fonts and select "Subpixel Smoothing". After that my problem was fixed. Gnome must configure this value by default. -- Semi-random ugly font rendering in Edgy (no font hinting) https://launchpad.net/bugs/63403 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
