I’m using Debian/Squeeze with emacs23, and I experience the same problem, with a discrepancy similar to that of the screenshot sent by the reporter. I use “DejaVu Sans Mono Book” as monospace default font.
Note though that the problem only occurs when, in GNOME appearance properties, I set font rendering to “Best shapes”. When I set font rendering to “Subpixel smoothing”, the problem disappears and I have the same rendering of fonts in emacs and gnome-terminal. -- Sébastien Villemot CEPREMAP — http://www.cepremap.ens.fr Dynare project — http://www.dynare.org Phone: +33 1 40 77 49 90 PGP Key: 0xA6C029B9D06B2913D71C105EBE37E801FB6EFF8B (http://pgp.mit.edu/)
