Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Fonts in a number of programs are broken, though still readable. I'm using the default Ubuntu jaunty install, nothing fancy. http://i39.tinypic.com/1jlydc.jpg http://i44.tinypic.com/jz9ox5.jpg Programs where this commonly occurs are the desktop, gnome-terminal, pidgin, and firefox. Xchat seems to be immune, for reasons I don't understand. In some places it's noticeably worse than others. Occasionally there are large black lines running through the fonts. Rebooting does not make the problem disappear. This happens whether subpixel rendering is turned on or off. ============================= Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 xorg: Installed: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 Candidate: 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 Version table: *** 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Package: xorg 1:7.4~5ubuntu18 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh ProcVersion: Linux version 2.6.28-11-generic (bui...@palmer) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 SourcePackage: xorg Uname: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic i686 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 -- Bad pixels & other artifacts on fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
