Comment: I don't have a ~/.fonts.conf file, when I started look at why this wasn't working I had a /etc/fonts/local.conf file - but I have deleted that now, /etc/fonts/conf.d looks like: total 24 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 2006-01-21 11:08 20-debconf-no-sub-pixel.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-sub-pixel.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 2006-01-21 11:08 30-debconf-no-bitmaps.conf -> /etc/fonts/conf.d/no-bitmaps.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 250 2005-05-04 20:51 autohint.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 306 2005-05-04 20:51 no-bitmaps.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257 2005-05-04 20:51 no-sub-pixel.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 256 2005-05-04 20:51 sub-pixel.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 247 2005-05-04 20:51 unhinted.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 296 2005-05-04 20:51 yes-bitmaps.conf My application font in the gnome control centre is "Bitstream Vera Sans Roman" 10 point. The odd thing is that the text inside the "Sub pixel smoothing" box (the "abcfgop AO abcfgop") is correctly subpixel rendered, but not the normal application text. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
