The particular gnome-terminal issue has gone. By this I mean that gnome-
terminal in jaunty seems to take font rendering settings from gconf and
therefore immediately follows the changes made on the Appearance-Fonts
tab including hinting, rgb and the rest just like all other native gnome
could you try if that's still an issue in jaunty?

I booted up another 8.04 system (not upgraded to 8.10) and found that I
have 10-hinting-medium.conf there as well and still have bad hinting
and height mismatch. Putting 10-hinting-full.conf instead solved the
issue on that machine. Seems like what they call Medium in
Appearance/Fonts and in
Well, maybe in my case 10-hinting-slight.conf was put there by 8.04
(this is where this mismatch started for me) and left untouched by the
upgrade to 8.10. Anyway, do you want to say that you still have
mismatching fonts in gnome-terminal with 10-hinting-medium.conf or 10
-hinting-full.conf in
Ok I:
# cd /etc/fonts/conf.d
# rm 10-hinting-medium.conf
# ln -s ../conf.avail/10-hinting-full.conf 10-hinting-full.conf
logout/login
and it worked!
Maybe I did something wrong the first time.
Thanks a lot for your help.

BTW, the source of this defect's problem is that GTK/Gnome takes font
configuration from its own settings (managed by gconf) and applies it to
the font rendering engine when drawing as far as I understand. This
configuration may differ from the system configuration of the font
engine maintained in
Personally, I don't have the 10-hinting-slight.conf in
/etc/fonts/conf.d. I only have:
/etc/fonts/conf.d$ ls -l *hint*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 2008-10-19 09:49 10-hinting.conf -
../conf.avail/10-hinting.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2008-10-19 09:49 10-hinting-medium.conf -
I found a way to affect the font rendering quaity in gnome-terminal, Qt3
and Qt4: they seem to use fontconfig settings from /etc/fonts. For some
strange reason, on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu 8.10, /etc/fonts/conf.d
contains a link to 10-hinting-slight.conf which is equivalent to setting

I want to add some more details. First, the issue is not just the
different height but also the different quality. If you look closer at
the screenshots you will see that the font in gnome-terminal looks more
dirty and noisy. This looks to me like if a different font rendering
engine were used in

someone having the problem, leaving this as incomplete until that,
thanks.
