Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
What exactly happens is a bit difficult to explain, but basically under some conditions and when using small fonts, some pixels of the fonts get lost when using gnome terminal. I'll give an example of a way to reproduce the problem. 1. Start gnome terminal with typical settings, 80x24 window etc. 2. Edit Current Profile 3. Select DejaVu Sans Mono font, size 8 4. In bash prompt, type 'MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM'. Notice how the M's don't look quite how they should. 5. Press backspace, and suddenly all the M's are ok again, although very close to each other. Something similar happens every now and then in different situations. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed -- Rendering of small fonts works badly on gnome terminal https://launchpad.net/bugs/46335 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
