Comment 37 for bug 190848

You shouldn't have to reboot, closing all terminals and open a new one works for me.

Now I have three configurations in Hardy for fonts:
1. /etc/fonts/conf.d
2. /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties
3. ~/.fonts.conf

All gnome fonts except the terminal are controlled by 2., gnome-terminal fonts are only controlled by 3.!
I think there are two things that should be done:

a) Cleanup /etc/fonts/conf.d:
Why is it set to antialias, hinting medium, no-sub-pixel?

b) Unify configs:
Why does above directory exist if appearance is controlled by gnome-appearance-properties?

c) Why doesn't gnome-terminal respect none of settings 1. and 2.?

I _am_ a developer (vi on a notebook) and my preference for gnome-terminal fonts is
antialias, hinting full, sub-pixel, rgba=rgb
.

I think the 53-... symlink should be remove because developers are man enough to write their own .fonts.conf!
