Bug Description

After upgrading from Intrepid to Jaunty, something happened to the Monospace font:

Before (correct):

Now (wrong):

I've chosen (in gnome-terminal or system->preferences->appearance the Dejavu Sans Mono font, but it makes no difference in gnome-terminal. It doesn't seem that the Dejavu font is used, but some other font instead. It seems to work okay if I view a text file in Firefox, though.

Any ideas?

Changed in gnome-terminal (Ubuntu):
