I have the same issue. I managed to reduce it by tweaking the settings Ralph kindly suggested, but since I never got it quite perfect: i learned to live with it...
But 95 dpi seemed to make it alot better (so used to either 72 or 96 that i didn't even try before today! cheers Ralph!) I'd be interested in knowing any other tricks. *Set On 10/16/2012 03:30 PM, Ralf Mardorf wrote: > On Mon, 2012-10-15 at 22:17 -0700, Steven Grace wrote: >> On 10/15/2012 09:23 PM, Mike Holstein wrote: >>> On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 12:17 AM, Steven Grace <sgr...@pobox.com >>> <mailto:sgr...@pobox.com>> wrote: >>> >>> I just installed Ubuntu Studio 12.04 and have an issue with the way >>> text displays.
