Diff/upload per Martin's request in comment #14, should it be required. This change should only affect the rendering of those (GNOME-based) application that source the value of 'monospace-font-name' via GSettings. The change will only affect those sessions where the user has never overridden the defaults. Those who have previously tested a variety of fonts would be manually responsible for unsetting/resetting the value:
$ gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name Given the extremely late nature of this change, I would feel more comfortable and be appreciative if other people could repeat the testing on the offered 'ubuntu-artwork=54' package and confirm getting similar Before/After results as above before it is considered for acceptance. The intent is that the perceived visual sizes in terms number of pixels per cell is roughly equal. Note that a logout/login is required—normally gsettings is dynamic—as for some reason the reload trigger against: /usr/share/gconf/schemas/ denoted in in: /var/lib/dpkg/info/gconf2.triggers is not immediately picking up the fresh installation from the 'ubuntu- artwork' package of a newer: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/ubuntu-artwork.gschema.override As a side-answer; GNOME 3 Control Center (on which the default Ubuntu configuration experience is based) removed the setting of fonts as a default user option. The 'gnome-tweak-tool' now provides this functionality, and can be found in the Ubuntu Software Centre: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/gnome-tweak-tool ** Patch added: "ubuntu-artwork_53.9_ubuntu-artwork-54.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-font-family-sources/+bug/865013/+attachment/2507177/+files/ubuntu-artwork_53.9_ubuntu-artwork-54.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865013 Title: Ship Ubuntu Mono as default monospace font in Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fontconfig/+bug/865013/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
