I could not make any of the suggestions presented by Riku Saikkonen work. I tried installing testing in a virtual machine and upgraded it to unstable, to see if my troubles were caused by some left over/special configuration on my computer. The same squished line problem was present in the freshly installed virtual machine, so I think it isn't just my setup.
I wonder what Ubuntu is doing in Precise Pangolin, which ought to have the same problem. I have resorted to building a local package with the commit, that Yves-Alexis Perez was nice enough to find to be the cause, reverted: * http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=b0962ac34e66052ccfee7996e5468f30d4bd5a72 The graphics on my screen have non-squished lines again (most noticable in Pidgin and GNU Emacs, but other places as well - menu bar in Iceweasel, for instance); hooray! My private repository of unsupported packages with the patched package is available here, in case someone is interested: * http://koldfront.dk/debian/ Best regards, Adam -- "The world is short of delimiters," says Don.
