I'm having this issue too. I'm a web developer and use Gedit on a daily basis so this is making life difficult.
I did determine a few things though... It only occurs when there is a scrollbar present. When the document is short enough and doesn't require a scrollbar the font renders correctly. The same issue also happens in Synaptic. ** Attachment added: "Left side font rendered correctly, right side with scrollbar has font rendering problems" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1290697/+attachment/4088295/+files/gedit.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290697 Title: Font rendering is broken Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Font rendering in Gedit (version 3.10.4) in Trusty is blurry. Fonts are rendered normally in other programs, such as LibreOffice Writer, Tomboy notes, and various system uses like title bars. See attached image, thanks.
