Last night I realized that I wasn't using the Gnome2 packages without the 2 appended at the end, so I upgraded my experimental packages to get current. I also enabled anti-aliased fonts per the discussion about that by adding GDK_USE_XFT=1 to /etc/environment. Now I get a large fixed-width as the font for gnome-terminal. When I select other fonts from the drop down provided in the config for gnome-terminal, the text in all terminal windows flickers, but the font doesn't change.
galeon does seem to be using a slightly different font too, but I can't really tell what. I think it's just a scaling difference. The upgrade to X 4.2.1 did not seem to affect it, just updating to the newest gnome2 packages. Using gconf-editor to poke the font didn't help any. Same results as using the font select box in the gnome-terminal configure screens. Please CC me on replies as I'm not on the mailing list. Thanks, -Chris
