Bug Description

Hello,

I'm trying the new Linux Mint 14 64b Cinnamon. It's pretty good but I have a problem with Vmware workstation.
With Mint 14 Cinnamon, Vmware has blurry fonts, they are smooth as they should be. In other applications (firefox for example, or Nemo) fonts are ok.
I tried Linux Mint 14 64b Mate, and surprisingly, Vmware looks like ok, fonts are smooth, as smooth as other applications.

So I think there is a problem (bug) with Cinnamon. I tried few things such as sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig but nothing happen.

Could you help me please ? That's one of the application I use the most ...

Thanks a lot !!!!

Hello,

ok I found the problem, though the solution. Linux Mint Mate installs "libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a" by default, whereas Linux Mint Cinnamon doesn't. I just have to intall this "lib" myself and VMWare looks great.

So the bug is solved.

But perhaps you could add this library to installation default with Cinnamon ?

Thanks !
