You have been subscribed to a public bug: I've always used this configuration for fonts:
font family: sans 9 Smoothing: subpixel Hinting: full And in Maverick i gave the following command to enable Firefox to follow the gnome-appearance-properties settings: sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-* But with Natty, the fonts in Firefox are really strange (and ugly). In the attached screenshots take a look, specially, at the 'a,g,G,O' chars, and in general to the different style and size of the font. Note that if i use 'slight' hinting some glitches come up, and the final result is worst than with 'full' hinting ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia .proc.driver.nvidia.gpus.0: Error: [Errno 21] È una directory: '/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0' .proc.driver.nvidia.registry: Binary: "" .proc.driver.nvidia.version: NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 270.41.03 Sat Apr 9 00:06:19 PDT 2011 GCC version: gcc version 4.5.2 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu3) Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,shift,place,mousepoll,grid,gnomecompat,regex,move,wall,imgpng,vpswitch,session,resize,unitymtgrabhandles,animation,expo,workarounds,ezoom,fade,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Wed Apr 20 16:53:06 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: nvidia-current, 270.41.03, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox-ose, 4.0.4, 2.6.38-8-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: nVidia Corporation GF106 [GeForce 450 GTS] [10de:0dc4] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: CardExpert Technology Device [10b0:0401] InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110413) JockeyStatus: xorg:nvidia_current - Driver grafici accelerati nVidia (Proprietario, Abilitato, Non in uso) MachineType: System manufacturer System Product Name ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=it_IT:en LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=b6c66ebc-9e9f-41a2-aff7-fe5ea49c2357 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 Renderer: Unknown SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XorgConf: Section "Device" Identifier "Default Device" Option "NoLogo" "True" EndSection dmi.bios.date: 02/18/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 0704 dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.name: P8H67-V dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr0704:bd02/18/2011:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnP8H67-V:rvrRevX.0x:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.23-1ubuntu6 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 7.10.2-0ubuntu2 version.nvidia-graphics-drivers: nvidia-graphics-drivers N/A version.xserver-xorg: xserver-xorg 1:7.6+4ubuntu3 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.14.0-0ubuntu4 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20110107+b795ca6e-0ubuntu7 ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug compiz-0.9 natty running-unity ubuntu -- Something is gone really wrong with fonts from Maverick to Natty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/767294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
