This bug is still present in version 390.116-1, now provided by nvidia-graphics-drivers-legacy-390xx. I couldn't try with Liberation since this font is no longer available in GNOME Terminal (while it still appears in fc-list). Anyway, the font itself does not seem to matter, only its size, so that the oblique characters appear in bold (the drawing itself is handled by VTE, which explains that).
So, I could reproduce the issue after killing compton with the following fonts: DejaVu Sans Mono Book, size ≥ 13 Fixed SemiCondensed, size ≥ 14 I have another machine with nvidia-driver 418.56-2, but I couldn't try yet. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
