Could this be a duplicate of bug #190848? Apparently /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-no-sub-pixel.conf disables subpixel rendering. All GNOME programs *except* gnome-terminal ignore this conffile, and as a result fonts look different in gnome-terminal than in all other GNOME programs (this is assuming you went into the GNOME appearance capplet and asked for subpixel rendering).
Removing that file fixes the font rendering problem for me. The question remains: why does vte act differently from all other GNOME programs? -- gnome-terminal / vte doesn't follow gnome font rendering settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204854 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
