Bug Description
Until recently (<month) http://
Now it seems that semicondensed is not happening, as the gnome-terminal is considerably wider than xterm.
I can't pinpoint which dist-upgrade did this as I didn't boot my box recently, however it did happen on my work
pc and my work desktop (both running latest jaunty). Both of them are set to start four gnome-terminals
that fully fill the screen, eg:
[ytti@sci ~]% cat .config/
#!/usr/bin/env sh
gnome-terminal --geometry 105x33+0+25 &
gnome-terminal --geometry 104x33+705+25 &
gnome-terminal --geometry 105x33+0+525 &
gnome-terminal --geometry 104x33+705+525 &
However, now suddenly these windows do not fit in the screen anymore, and I'm quite lost with font stuff.
So definitely 'wishlist' kinda bug, so that we'd have some easy way to choose same exact font as in xterm.
This problem is now fixed on both my laptop and desktop. No really sure which package fixed it. I first noticed it on my
laptop as I reload it daily. I think laptop got fixed like 2-3 days ago. Then today on office I tried to restart gnome-terminal,
problem was not fixed, fonts were not semicondensed, but after restarting X (no reload) problem was gone in office too.
