I ran the script over all the .ttf files in /usr/share/fonts/truetype /ubuntu-font-family, and replaced them all with the 'fixed' versions. Most of the on-screen fonts looked horrible (this included the greeter fonts, menus, and various dialogs). However, it did kind of fix the Emacs bug.
Then I restored all of the original (i.e. "unfixed") fonts except UbuntuBetaMono-BI.ttf (the original troublemaker). This fixed all the system fonts, and also allowed the Emacs default font to work properly. The only problem I found then was that all italic-regular fonts in Emacs were rendered as italic-bold. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791076 Title: Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives bold-italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/emacs/+bug/791076/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
