Public bug reported: Following a fresh install of Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 I had the surprise to see blurry fonts showing up in gEdit (stock install), when the document viewed is longer than a displayed vertical or horizontal page. I later found it was reported as a bug in Launchpad as "blurry font as document is longer than one page and scroll bars appear", see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1309785 This GTK+ 3.10.8 bug was reported as corrected in September 2014 in in GTK+ 3.13.7 . However someone reported a work-around which consisted of adding an "env" parameter to the Exec command line in the gedit.desktop file. # Exec=gedit %U Exec=env GTK_DEBUG=no-pixel-cache gedit %U It looks like the displayed information on a selected package in Synaptic shows the same behavior i.e. Selecting package "0ad" will show a perfect font rendering in the package info field. However selecting package "0ad-data" which description is slightly longer and will not fit in the panel window, will display then a blurred font. I tried the same "env GTK_DEBUG=no-pixel-cache" to synaptic cmd. line however this is not working. Considering that Trusty 14.04 is a LTS release, does anyone knows which env parameter would fix this bug ?
