I encounter the same issue on natty. I use a slightly different way to select the font (in case it matters). I use
(setq my-default-font "-unknown-UbuntuBeta Mono-normal- normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1") which ultimately ends up in default-frame-alist Note that I previously used: (setq my-default-font "-unknown-Ubuntu Beta Mono 21-normal- normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1") Deleting the bold-italic font from /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu- font-family made it work again, so +1 on the workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/791076 Title: Emacs: choosing normal monospace font in Emacs but gives bold-italic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/emacs/+bug/791076/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
