So the PPA has the newest version of both branches. Does that mean that the newest that will be updated to right now will be 4.1.2, but in a few weeks the update manager will see that 4.0.6 is the newest and try to update your 4.1.2 back to that one? On 10/09/2013 07:23 PM, Tom Davies wrote:

That font-changing problem sounds similar to a problem I created a bug report on. I was using 4.0.4.2 at the time, and moving to 4.0.5 (the version I'm currently using) fixed it. But maybe it resurfaced in 4.1? Kracked, check out bug report 67223 and see what you think.
