Description

Can't reproduce the problem, and it doesn't really make sense to me. .fonts.cache-1 has nothing to do with font rendering, it basically is just a list of fonts on the system. ok, so changing the DPI is not necessary at all to trigger the problem. Just changing font sizes to something else, then changing back, is enough to get stuff to look horrible. The problem here is that a patch was removed from the libgnome SRPM because it _should_ have been upstream. BUt it wasn't actually upstream (libgnome-2.0.1-monospace.patch) So let's file the bug upstream, or commit the patch upstream. This is important for GNOME 2.2 also. Upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103316 Removing MoveUpstream however to track for release. It still thinks the default font terminal is Sans in Phoebe2, even though from the looks of the font it clearly isn't. Until I actually change the font size. This is still a problem for me in Phoebe3. The default terminal font is listed as Sans, although it is actually Monospace. The probelem with Monospace on sr_YU.UTF-8@cyrillic locale is the already mentioned huge inter-character spacing, so my terminal is wider than the screen. Even now as I type this in Mozilla I see the same problem with Monospace. This has worked ok in Phoebe2, but the problem occurred after upgrading to Phoebe3, and on another machine with a clean install of Phoebe3 as well. en_US locale seems to work without problems I don't see the patch upstream. Add it please? Created attachment 92795 [details]
Patch from SRPM
This is the patch from the SRPM. I've applied it to libgnome HEAD and closed
the b.g.o bug
Guess this could be closed as well then? |
