** Tags removed: earth fonts google katya rc ** Description changed: Testing Linux Mint Katya RC amd64 + + After installing Google Earth 6 I noticed the application fonts are not + following system font settings like Google Earth 5.1 did in Linux Mint + 10. The application fonts in Google Earth 6 are small, faded and jagged + which make them barely readable. To make sure it was the program itself + and not Linux Mint 11 RC, I removed Google Earth 6 via Synaptic (and + then ran "sudo apt-get autoremove" in the terminal to remove associated + dependencies) then downloaded Google Earth 5.1 directly from... + + http://packages.linuxmint.com/list.php?release=Julia + + ...and installed via Gdebi. The application fonts in this older version + of Google Earth conform to system font settings and are very readable + just like they were in Linux Mint 10. Please see the two screen shots of + GE 6 and GE 5.1 (both taken in Linux Mint 11 RC) which show the + different font renderings rather clearly. + + Since it's pretty obvious that Google Earth 6 is built differently for + Linux Mint than Google Earth 5 was and has different dependencies than + version 5 did I'm wondering if perhaps something was missed during the + build that would hook it into the (Ubuntu) cairo2 libraries? I'm not a + programmer so I can't really take this any further but I would be glad + to help test possible solutions. ** Also affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780845 Title: Google Earth 6 application fonts not following system settings -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
