Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
This is a difference between an originally-Edgy installation and an
originally-Warty installation.
In particular, the bytecode hinting is disabled on my ex-Warty machine.
Since DejaVu Sans includes ligatures for fi, ff, ffi, and the autohinter
does not work properly with these characters (the fs completely change
shape), stuff generally looks terrible.
I *don't* have an /etc/fonts/local.conf, and this is not a per-user
problem as GDM and new user accounts see these incorrect settings.
I took a guess at the package, sorry if it's wrong.
** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
