Hi Paul,
Yes, it was driver bug!
Apparently there is a known Nvidia - Ubuntu 12.04/12.10 problem.
Installing a new Nvidia driver (not the one shipped with Ubuntu, because
that one REALLY messed things up ...) solved the problem! With the
Nuoveau driver I had next to the 'font-colour-coot' also a
'jumpy-pymol-window' issue...
So everything fine with Coot :-)

Hello everyone,
I just moved coot 0.7 rev 4459 compiled on Ubuntu 10.4 to a new
computer with 12.10. Everything works fine, but the font colour for
labelling atoms stays black, no matter what I try. So its not very
useful on a black background.
In my coot-preferences file ist says: set-font-colour 1.00 0.80 0.80
I tried changing the colour to whatever using the scripting interface,
setting the preferences in the interface and so on.
When I change the background colur to white the font also gets white!!!!
Anyone an idea what's going on?

Hmmm...
How about:
Edit Preferences -> Others -> Fonts -> Own Label Colour
But really it sounds like a driver bug.
(Or alternatively it might be a bug in coot - and different graphics
cards handle the bug in different ways - it just so happens that of all
the systems I have tried, none fail in this way).
Paul.
