Subject: cinnamon: Unusable due to messy menu-font

[Andreas Glaeser]

Package: cinnamon
Version: 1.4.0-lmde1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

first I installed Ubuntu 12.04 when that was released and found that the gnome3 desktop was unusable due to the interface-font and reported that bug. Because that was not fixed yet, I tried 'linux mint cinnamon' first, which was not installable at all because of a similar reason. Now I found there is a similar problem in 'linux mint debian /cinnamon'.
It looks OK at first glance, but as soon as one tries to open the application-menu, messy font and messy icons show. So there is no choice for me at the moment between mate and cinnamon.

-- no debconf information

[Andreas Glaeser (aglaeser1)]

Nobody tells me what kind of information is needed in order to fix the problem, so I submit an automatically generated installation-report. That is better than nothing at all , isn´t it ?

[Bernhard Schuster (drahnr)]

I am afraid you got the wrong project - cinnamon resides under cinnamon-desktop - you will have to do that report again.
