It is sufficient to replace Mathematica's Qt libraries, see the end of this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/197163
For your convenience: 1) Make sure you have libqt4-core and libqt4-gui installed (use synaptics or aptitude), 2) remove (delete or backup somewhere) these files: PathToMathematica/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libQtCore.so.4 PathToMathematica/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux/libQtGui.so.4 where PathToMathematica is typicaly /usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/6.0 (Substitute Linux-x86-64 for Linux if needed.) No extra stuff in ~/.fonts.conf is needed. -- [Hardy] Mathematica fonts look bad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214683 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
