I wanted to add windows ttf fonts in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts and then deleted the (what I thought) duplicate entries.
Tried this reinstall GDM, all *pango* packages, ttf packages, removed vera*.ttf. I tried to change the theme this way (http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13): sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop but all fonts were visible as squares Everything else works, except the login window. This should not be so cumbersome. The System - administration - Login Screen tool is pathetically reduced compared to what I read about this tool in earlier Ubuntu (Gnome) versions. -- gdm login fonts are unreadable, display rectangles not chars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477438 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
