"Hi, just wanted to tell you that I upgraded to jaunty and now my fonts look great everywhere - on all my monitors, even in all apps I use. I am so happy that i don't need to fiddle with font configuration - which i previously found to be hidden in the Appearence preference dialog. BTW, I looked there now, but I will just leave the 'Automatic shapes" checkbox enabled as it seems to do the right thing for me. Thanks for your great work!" - Alexander -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
