The suggestion in comment #10 works for me. Getting rid of pango- graphite fixes it.
Thanks Václav! This has been keeping me busy for a few hours. I've just upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04. The problem also affected fonts in lightdm greeter and gnome, but fontconfig seemed ok and the fonts in tty1-6 were also ok. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166125 Title: Ubuntu (Xubuntu) 13.04 beta, broken fonts for Gtk based applications Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in Pango - Layout and Text Rendering LIbrary: New Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “pango-graphite” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 beta of Ubuntu (Xubuntu), I am experiencing some issues. Like without me actually changing anything, my fonts are broken for some applications (most of them) and not for other (rxvt). See this http://i.imgur.com/ubVvr53.png As you can see, rxvt there is the only application with normal fonts. The Terminal application from Xfce suite is for some inexplicable reason using some kind of proportional font. See that the font in the Terminal Preferences is set to Liberation Mono. Also, please notice how in the Choose Terminal Font dialog the Courier New font Preview is not Courier New.
