Sorry, I didn't consider this information because it happened to me on different versions of Ubuntu and Xfce. I currently use Maveric and Xfce 4.6.5-2.
** Description changed: Binary package hint: xfce4-settings When setting fonts via the XFCE settings dialog, e.g. to a different font and different hinting or aliasing, the fonts in other applications remain different, sometimes with different font sizes, types, or hinting. This affects applications like Firefox, Chrome or Skype. I've had this problem since years and still need to hack into different font configuration files (Xresources, mozilla chrome-css, xsettings, etc...). - Thanks for any help. + Here are the steps that I took to achieve the screenshot below: + + 1. Do a fresh install of Xubuntu Maveric (but I have encountered this behaviour also with Karmic and Lucid). + 2. Open up Xfce settings and set the font to full hinting, disable font aliasing. (Not really needed: install and select Arial) + 3. Launch Firefox, Chrome, Skype. + + The screenshot has been made with Maveric Alpha development branch and + xfce-settings version 4.6.5-2. + + However, I have seen this in different Xfce and Ubuntu versions and + numerous posts on the internet seem to confirm that this is a common + issue. + + Thanks a lot for any help. -- inconsistent font settings across all applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/642004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
