Public bug reported: I use Lucida Console 9 (a Microsoft TrueType font) as my terminal font. It worked great in Hardy, but after upgrading to Intrepid, bold rendering looks awful, as if the bytecode hinter has gone haywire. This is puzzling because the other TrueType fonts I have tried look fine, as does non-bold Lucida Console. I am attaching screen shots to demonstrate the difference between hardy and intrepid.
My font settings: Anti-aliasing is disabled. Hinting is set to Full. Sub-pixel hinting is disabled. (All these are set in the xfce User Interface Preferences. I normally use xfce, but the same problem is visible when I log in using gnome.) ** Affects: fontconfig (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: freetype (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Lucida Console bold renders badly after upgrade to intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
