As sylpheed-claws uses gtk+1.2, I suspect this is the same behaviour EvergreyNY is experiencing here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=289396 Both Audacity (the ubuntu build) and XMMS use gtk+ 1.2, like sylpheed- claws, and both have bad fonts under edgy. This might be related but on my clean install of edgy beta the (nearly) default xorg.conf had fonts pointing to /usr/share/X11/fonts (100dpi, 75dpi, Type1 et.al.), but these fonts were actually located at /usr/share/fonts/X11. I Changing this doesn't improve the fonts in Tcl-tk apps, but I haven't tested any GTk+1.2 app. Hope this info is useful to somebody, Miguel PS: I would change "affected package" to libgtk1.2 (or similar, I'm on a Debian Etch machine right now) -- sylpheed has ugly fonts after edgy upgrade https://launchpad.net/bugs/61194 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
