The problem, which can be described as wrong font anti-aliasing with color-bleeding happened to me in a system upgraded from edgy to feisty. Wiping the partition clean and installing yesterday's feisty daily alternate snapshot created a fully woking desktop environment with proper font anti-aliasing.
I've this hunch that fontconfig and fontconfig-config were not upgraded cleanly but it could also be a problem with pango/cairo (yet, amarok does not do pango, now does it?); it could also be that the X server upgrade wasn't done cleanly and old libraries were not updated where they should have. If it were a fontconfig problem I could not see what could have gone wrong apart from a bunch of files that were not removed from /etc/fonts/conf.d and that were moved to /etc/fonts/conf.avail in the newer fontconfig-config packaging. But having no symlinks to numbered names, they are merely trashy files. -- [feisty] Bad fonts with the latest Feisty upgrade https://launchpad.net/bugs/78209 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
