This package was somehow auto-installed in a release upgrade today from 14.04 to 14.10, and cost me most of the day trying to figure out why everything in X was glitchy and crashing. The terminal looked like http://askubuntu.com/questions/285836/letter-spacing-in-gnome-terminal
Even xterm would crash on ctrl-right-click, and these badly-spaced strange characters appeared in almost every terminal emulator (xterm worked, except for its menus). Font selection dialogs ground the computer to a halt, and even the window manager titlebars were in a wonky font. Yet, something was showing, so it was a lot of work to investigate the entire stack of X11, Xft, fontconfig, freetype, pango, gtk, etc to find what component was bad. sudo apt-get purge pango-graphite solved the problem. No idea how that package got installed, but it's removal fixed everything immediately. There is a serious problem with this package in the 14.10 release of ubuntu as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166125 Title: Broken fonts for Gtk based applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1166125/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
