Closing due to the last comment confirming this is a Mathematica issue. Thanks for your help.
** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Confirmed => Invalid ** Description changed: Mathematica 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 are unable to properly render the font in code cells when running in Hardy. In Gutsy, both versions work fine. Under Hardy, the letters are rendered in the same color as the background. For example, if you type the word Plot in an input cell, and then choose Format->Options inspector, Global and change the background of the document to say blue, the word Plot then appears in white (the default background color). Starting a new input cell and again typing Plot, the letters are no longer visible - in fact they are in blue. This effect occurs with or without compiz and independently of the chosen font. Also, the following error messages appear on the console: X Error of failed request: RenderBadPicture (invalid Picture parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 7 (RenderFreePicture) Picture id in failed request: 0x320588a Serial number of failed request: 224702 Current serial number in output stream: 224704 X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 154 (RENDER) Minor opcode of failed request: 4 (RenderCreatePicture) Serial number of failed request: 224987 Current serial number in output stream: 224990 + + :: Solution :: + Upgrade to Mathematica 6.0.3 -- Mathematica renders fonts incorrectly in Hardy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197163 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
