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 gnome-terminal (or at least a different anti- aliasing setup).
Second, it may be important that it started to happen when I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy (8.04) and still present in Intrepid (8.10). In other words, in Feisty (7.10) the problem didn't exist: the font in gnome-terminal looked exactly like in gedit (provided it's the same family and size of course). Below I attach another two screenshots that show the difference in size and quality. Note also that the fonts in gnome-terminal look exactly like in Qt3/Qt4 applications which hints that both use the same font renderer. It would be really cool if Qt3/Qt4 were fixed too so that all applications in Ubuntu would show the fonts in the exact quality. -- Font height is not the same as in other applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
