One possibility is that the APL385.ttf font entry for diamond is either wrong, or has some subtle problem that causes gnome-terminal to get the scaling wrong. The font is available here: www.dyalog.com/downloads/fonts/Apl385.ttf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

Attached is a screen shot from Open Office. In that, you can see that the diamond character displays correctly at different sizes (i.e., slightly larger than the iota and rho) when using Times New Roman, but displays much smaller when using the fixed-width font. From this example, I see that the

I don't particularly care about graphics performance, but definitely DO want (1) switch-user to work properly (which, at present, crashes my system), and (2) dual-head support to work properly. So, I may not need the apparently useless drivers from AMD/ATI, if they are the root of the problem,

Well, I now agree that the bug is still there: after a recent update, if restricted drivers are enabled (ATI fglrx), the system crashes immediately after System/Logout/Change User or on an attempt to change users with the Fast User Switch applet. If restricted drivers are disabled, the user

1. I'm running gnome. 2. I think I installed dual-head this way: - normal install of 8.10 release - System/Administration/Hardware Drivers: enable ATI drivers. 3. At this point, I think the system claims that a reboot is needed. I'm not sure if that is the case... 4. I

After a complete install of the released version of Ubuntu 8.10 on another partition, this is nearly working perfectly. The system loses the ATI Catalyst dual-head settings over a reboot, but things are otherwise good. BTW, installation of the restricted drivers is very nice now! I think we

I'm running Intrepid Alpha 3, and just reinstalled the (July 21?) ATI drivers from scratch. That produces bug#247376. AIGLX settings don't appear to be relevant. So, I consider the ATI drivers to be, at this stage, completely useless for my work. From the looks of the other bug reports hanging

Me, too! I'm running an ATI HD 3450, with Xinerama enabled and apparently working properly. HOWEVER, any attempt to log off, or to change users by either the user switcher or little-green-man menu, result in black screens and hang. Hard reset is the only way out: ctrl-alt-bksp doesn't fix it.
