Actually, on a fresh install, my titles (for active and inactive windows) are as the title of the inactive window on my screenshot. My problem is that I am not able to recover the same appearance anymore as soon as I modified the font.

For example, I just opened the dialog box to modify the font for inactive windows, and only by validate the defaut choice without change (Ubuntu Medium), my inactive windows font changes and is now the same font as active windows one : http://pix.toile-libre.org/?img=1376253581.png

I know it is not a very important bug, but I find this behavior a bit weird.

I see it a bit bolder, but it can due to the rendering mode. Try modifying the font sharpness, or try another font. I suggest you Sans to check this, because of its thin forms may help to see if there's any problem.

Also, install Avantgarde or aonther "slim" font (you can grab them free from www.dafont.com <http://www.dafont.com>), put them on ~/.fonts, re-login and see if the problem persists. Doin' it the science way! :P

Cheers!

    Hi Rafael, thanks for your answer :)

    Sorry for answering late. The font by default is Ubuntu Medium
    (default=ubuntu-medium). It's defined on the lubuntu-default
    theme. I don't really understand what you mean. Your visual
    config seems right.

    My problem is that after my manipulation, I don't get the same
    appearance that I have on a fresh installation. Except for color,
    don't you find on the screenshot that title font of active window
    is different from title font of inactive window ?


    The "bug" of choosing Bold and it gets back to Medium is a font
    problem, not ours. The reason is a bit complicated to explain and
    it's about the metrics of the bold font. It's supposed that using
    Bold on a word processor should work fine, but not in little
    sizes, because the type is not well designed for tiny spaces, so
    it switches to the closer type (something like that).

    In a few weeks the Ubuntu Font Team will release a new package
    correcting some bugs (including this) as well as more types
    (thin, extra-bold, etc) and designed explicitely for small sizes
    as well as print sizes, which needs another type and kerning
    technology due the higher resolutions up to 300 pixels per inch
    of paper.

    Ok, thanks for the information :)

    Kind regards,
    Pierre Gobin
