I get this too. I was on ubuntu before using gedit and I allways tought that the font rendering problem was an issue with Ubuntu itself, then I switched to Xubuntu and was stuck with mousepad. Used it for a while, didnt notice anything special about the font, I thought I was just used to crappy font rendering. Then I got tired of mousepad and its lack of features and installed gedit, i saw the problem RIGHT AWAY. I tought it was just the font, so I set up the same font as mousepad Droid Sans Mono 11 and opened the same document side by side in both, and OMG i CANNOT stand to look at gedit, it gives me the never ending feeling that I need glasses... I am sorry but whoever decided this was a low priority bug has its priority in the wrong places. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290697 Title: Font rendering is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1290697/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
