Bug Description
Hi Ubuntu team!
I just upgraded to Edgy on AMD64 and discovered that my emacs and terminal fonts have changed. The terminal fonts seem to have become "bold" or at least thick, and the emacs fonts have become thin and tiny, very hard to see.
In general, this upgrade hasn't been easy, compared to the upgrade to dapper - I regret having moved so quickly - sorry to say that, I love Ubuntu and fully support !
thanks for any suggestions,
GF

following up on this issue, i discovered that the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file contains a long list of wrong font paths since the upgrade to edgy.
After inspecting all the paths, I changed the font paths to all point to: fonts/X11/ <font name>
/usr/share/
instead of the old paths which were: X11/fonts/ ... X11/fonts/ ...
/usr/lib/
and
/usr/share/
Maybe this fix could be automated in the upgrade procedure?
