I can confirm this. No idea if it is Konsole or if the fonts themselves are messed up but it is indeed a problem. Using Kubuntu 9.10 with KDE 4.4.1 as well. Anything more we can do to help debug this? New KDE user/tester here ( using Kubuntu 9.10, 64-bit, KDE 4.4.1 :-). I can confirm this bad appearance too. I use Droid Sans Mono, 8pt and after unsuccessfully playing around with setting the DPI, anti-aliasing and hinting options, I gave up. Under Gnome I never had this problem (but I had set DPI to 92). Don't know if this is relevant. Nikos Seems this goes away if font size is >8pt _or_ the Smooth option is deactivated (under: Settings > Edit (Current) Profile > Appearance > []Smooth). Hm, sorry, but I can *not* confirm that the problem goes away by increasing the font size or turning off the Smooth option. It remains the same, only larger and uglier :) Playing around with DPI settings also didn't help. I haven't restarted KDE, though, after changing any settings, maybe that would have made a difference. Sorry too, I can't reproduce this (with larger font size) again. However, I think I understand (a bit more) now: I have (under bash) --color=auto and I see that it happens mostly (only?) with color-text. Can you confirm that? Nikos OK, it happens with *bold* fonts in my system. Relevant stuff: * the "LS_COLORS" variable * dircolors So the question is perhaps: why are bold fonts not "rendered" correctly? Try to change all bold fonts to normal with this (in case you also use --color=auto): eval "$(dircolors -b | tr "01" "00")" Then check "ls -lah" or similar again. All looks fine, doesn't it? Revert back with: eval "$(dircolors -b)" Correct, it seems to be bold-faced Droid fonts that don't present correctly in Konsole. Well observed. Now, is Konsole to blame or did Ubuntu fubar the fonts? That's the question. I am seeing this on Konsole on KDE 4.4.2 on Ubuntu with Aurulent Sans font as well. Anonymous Pro seems to be a little better at the bold fonts. Seems like QT somehow messed up this on 4.6. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 233694 *** |
